With campsite trash accounting for more than half of the rubbish accumulated at music festivals, there are calls for a "cultural shift" in the behaviour of those attending.

I was so shocked to see how many people left their belongings, but it was even more shocking that it was normal for everyone online," she said.

“Everyone is really tired after a multi-day festival, but I didn’t think people were that lazy or careless.”

I’m suprised she’s surprised.

    Yep and not all festival goers are like you either. I’ve taken the same stuff to a few and it’s held up.

    At the same time several others trashed their brand new stuff in hours. Some of those tried to leave it as well or throw it in the bins. Some festivals I went to had someone with a Polaris et al collecting it.

    Never seen this at bush campsites, even ones like Mackenzie on K’gari.

    It’s a different environment and I should add we’re all different too.
