Think twice before you pack a disposable vape for Glastonbury Festival

Brands like Elf Bar and Lost Mary's are now on the "what not to bring" list for this years event.

Organisers at Worthy Farm have announced the vapes are no longer allowed - along with knives, glass and gazebos.

They say online that vapes "pollute the environment and can be hazardous at waste centres".

The lithium batteries inside the vapes make them hard to recycle, and can be hazardous during the waste disposable process

It's not yet been suggested that people found with vapes will have them confiscated.
