Just want to take an opportunity to thank all the volunteers and others who did a stunningly good job with keeping the site nice and clean.
They were on top of the job all weekend and that in turn discourages others from dropping litter.
And on leaving this morning there seemed to be very few instances of "dirty camping".
Hear hear!

Admittedly I only needed to
Admittedly I only needed to use the men's urinals but the queues for the loos and general cleanliness, availability of hand sanitizer and smell seemed much better this year. Guessing the women's urinals and improved men's ones (plus signs letting people know they're there) helped. Da iawn Green Man.

Absolutely, i couldn't
Absolutely, i couldn't believe how clean the site was throughout the weekend, it just shows what people can do when they pull together, refreshing.

I thought the same,
I thought the same, especially all the neatly tied and stacked bin bags and bags of recycling, amazing. When you see what happens elsewhere it makes me appreciate GM even more: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/aug/29/reading-festival-violence-...
(I have to say that those videos look exactly like my experience of Leeds 2003 so it's not a recent phenomenon)
Beautifully clean site...
Beautifully clean site... thanks to people's good manners and the phenomenal litter pickers.
Big thumbs up to the women's urinals too... a particular highlight for me was using them during the Kraftwerk set, surveying the site from on high and singing "she's a model and she's looking good" whilst fulfilling my mission!
Had a chat with a litter
Had a chat with a litter picker on Sunday who said it was hard to fill a bag on a single shift.
