Recycling Deposit

As part of its waste awareness campaign, the organisers of Pukkelpop have decided to introduce a waste fee. This Recycling Deposit amounts to €10 and is included in the price of an official PKP camping ticket. This fee can easily be recuperated.

  • The Recycling Points and on-site staff at the official PKP campsites dispense two types of refuse bags: one for residual waste and one for PMD (plastic bottles and containers, metal packaging and drink cartons). The aim is to enable festival-goers to better and more accurately sort their waste during their stay. Properly sorted refuse bags (residual waste or PMD) must be handed in at an on-site Recycling Point. Festival-goers’ wristbands are scanned with every bag that is handed in.
  • NEW IN 2024: At the official PKP camping sites, festival visitors can drop off their party tents  at any Recycling Point. What is understood by a party tent? A tent (foldable or otherwise) that consists of a support structure and a roof made of polyester or tent cloth, without sides. Maximum dimensions are 3m length x 3m width x 2.5m height. Upon drop off, the festival-goers' wristband will be scanned.
  • Reimbursement of the Recycling Deposit is made after the festival on the express condition that the festival-goer has sorted their waste (residual waste or PMD) or dropped off their party tent at a Recycling Point and had their wristband scanned there.
  • The Recycling Deposit is refunded when the festival is over on the explicit condition that festival-goers have sorted their waste, handed in their residual waste and/or PMD or a party tent at a Recycling Point and had their wristband scanned. If and only if these conditions are met, the full €10 will be refunded into the original buyer’s account or credit card by September 15 at the latest. If the conditions were met but you did not receive anything after that date, you can contact us at servicedesk@pptickets.be until September 30.
  • Festival-goers who did not hand in a properly sorted refuse bag (residual waste or PMD) or a party tent at one of the Recycling Points and/or did not get their wristband scanned will not receive a refund; their Recycling Deposit will be forfeit and earmarked by the festival organisers as a financial contribution to the waste disposal process.
  • The Recycling Points at Camping Chill and Camping Relax are open non-stop from Friday 9 am until Monday, noon.
