Anybody ever worked a music festival?

I've never been tempted to attend a music festival but I hear lots of trustafarians do and also that they typically trash the hell out of the area in which a festival is being held. While this is overall unfortunate, I have also heard that said trustafarians tend to leave behind some pretty sweet camping gear. Wondering if anybody around here has ever been part of a post-music festival clean up and if you get to keep whatever the rich kids leave behind...

Worked at a festival in Denmark in the summer building one of the main stages. Never have I seen so much litter in my life. Thousands of tents, sleeping bags, crates of beer, camping gear, food. I found a pair of skis but they were pre 00s so I left them.

99% of the stuff will be so trashed that you dont want it. The thing you may get lucky with are wallets or jewelry.

Look up clean vibes. They work a ton of big festivals. Also thungs like wet, work exchange team at others.

I've worked for clean vibes in the past. Also been to at least 50 music festivals. Worth checking a couple out.

Nope, still had bindings on and everything, had duct tape wrapped around them and I found them halfway up a hill so I assume someone got drunk and duct taped themselves in and tried to go mud skiing.
