According to something I read the other day, Glastonbury Festival organiser Michael Eaves hates all the wellington boots that are abandoned after the mud-fest that is the Glastonbury Festival these days. He apparently said: “I hate to see wellies being ditched. We really need to find a way of recycling them.”
…. So any suggestions?

Why can’t they be used again at next years festival? Just group them into sizes and pile them into great heaps. One pound or two a pair. Raise some money for charity or struggling local musicians.

Offer them to your local foodbank - the poor need to wade through mud too!

I was surfing the internet and found a great Finnish website. Among other things I found this brilliant way of recycling boots. You don´t have to understand Swedish or Finnish just look at the pictures.

If the boots upperpart has hole in it just cut the upperpart away and use that to make bag and use the lower part as some kind of slippers to use in the garden we call it “túttur” here in Iceland.
Greetings Helen Sím.
