Rethink Waste
Now calling for volunteers
Rethink waste is a waste education community project that partners with major events to reduce waste and raise awareness.
Our volunteers help direct event patrons to sort their waste at the event, redirecting waste away from landfill, and inspiring their community to change their habits.
We’re looking for volunteers to assist at the Festival from 2.30pm-8.30pm. Volunteers work at our Bin Stations assisting people with sorting waste and providing information about waste. We have a a number of bin stations to monitor.
If you have any questions about the event, please contact Lily.
