Why have I been given a litter sack?
That’s for our benefit – makes the clearing process on the Sunday much easier!
We’ve noticed that some of you struggle to get to a bin, so we brought the bin to you 😊.
If not using a bin, please put all litter in the bag, and put that in the bin when you leave the site. Your help with this is greatly appreciated.
What if I see something suspicious or that concerns me for a safety perspective?
Do not attempt to handle the situation yourself, peak to one of our security team. If you can’t see one, grab any volunteer and they can get one to you.
Where do I pee?
There are plenty of toilets around the site, all marked on the Site Map.
We have a cleaning team on site all day so if you find a toilet that needs attention, please let a volunteer know.
