The UBVF is a waste wise event promoting zero waste initiatives. We are working closely with local groups to reduce the waste from this event down to as close to zero as possible and make the event as sustainable as possible. Everyone can help us by:
- Walking, running, skating, scooting or riding to the festival (if possible)
- Bringing a Keep Cup, reusable water bottles, shopping bags
- Taking any waste you bring on to the site home with you
