Recycle system on cups

During all our Awakenings events we are working with a deposit system on all cups, cans and bottles we give out at the bars. We would like to collect as many as possible, to make sure they can be recycled!

Please note; the Ziggo Dome uses a different recycle system than the Gashouder/ Awakenings Festivals.

At the entrance, you will receive 1 recycle token. You can use this to get your first cup for your drink. We ask you to return your used cup to one of our bars when you get a new drink. If you lose your cup or token, you need to pay 1,- for an extra cup. Please throw away your last cup at the end of the show in the designated bins so we can recycle them.
