With just three weeks to go until the gates open, organisers have shared some “essential info” with festivalgoers, which highlights newly-banned items for 2023.
Disposable vapes are now not allowed onsite at Reading & Leeds. “They pollute the environment and incorrect disposal of these can be hazardous at waste centres,” the listing reads.
In addition, campfires and disposable BBQs are prohibited “anywhere at the festival, including the campsites”. Explaining the ban, organisers said: “This is to support the Air Quality Action Plan and in consideration of local impacts as set out in our Green Nation Charter.
Do they have disposable vapes? I think its disgusting when people throw their cigarette butts everywhere.
Yeah, disposable vapes is a big deal when it comes to litter at the moment - I see at least one a day in the street. They’ll likely be eventually banned.
