Greening

Origin Festival has a strong history of recycling almost 99% of the waste generated at our events. We have an efficient recycling team on site who work through out the weekend. We even have recycled art work which features around the venue. 

 

All the care in the world is taken to leave the venue as we found it with the exception of a few peg holes and some missing grass patches due to your love of dancing and need to keep your feet hopping and stomping.
