The festival has a refund and reuse programme, which goes far beyond what we know from our everyday lives. This is where each of us can make a difference, and we hope that you will join in, along with the more than 1,000 volunteers who participate in the effort.
In addition to the refund, we already know, the festival also has refund on other items, such as beer carriers and foreign or damaged cans (nonmarketable cans). As such, refund is a closed recycling system, so the festival has chosen to include a further environmental initiative by introducing buyback of reusable cups and pitchers. Both refund and buyback are handled at the refund stands.
Reusable cups and pitchers can either be exchanged to clean cups/pitchers or repaid to the wristband in beverage stands or the refund stands can buy them back.
There are 3 refund stands distributed across the camping area. There is also a Drop&Go refund machine near East City that counts up to 100 standard refund items a minute.
