For plenty of people camping at summer festivals, the simple act of packing up their tent and leaving their pitch free from rubbish is second nature when it's time to go home. But unfortunately there are some who don't share the same outlook.
According to The Association of Independent Festivals, each year an estimated 250,000 tents are left behind following events across the UK, with most going to landfill. And now a retailer is offering refunds to stop more being abandoned in 2023.
Decathlon is allowing customers to return its most popular festival tent - the Quechua MH100 Two Person Tent - after it has been used. As a reward for not leaving the £29.99 tent behind, Decathlon is guaranteeing a full refund in the form of a gift card.
