The Glastonbury clean up kicked off bright and early this morning

Ever wondered what the festival grounds look like after you’ve packed up and left?

Unless you were away on a retreat somewhere over the weekend, you’ll know that some of the biggest names in music took to the stage at this year’s Glastonbury. Yes, the popular festival took place at Worthy Farm over the weekend and from the accounts we’ve seen online, it was another amazing year. However, with 135,000 people in attendance, the site was looking a little worse-for-wear this morning as one picture of a woman walking the grounds was shared across social media.

It takes a few minutes to bag up your rubbish, but takes volunteers weeks and costs thousands. Love the farm #LeaveNoTrace. #Glasto2017 pic.twitter.com/a3L9wH7HR7

The festival organisers ran the #LeaveNoTrace campaign this year, asking festival-goers to clean up after themselves sharing the message and hashtag across their social media.

While many shared pictures of the their successful camp ground's clean-up, volunteers still spent hours today picking up rubbish.
