Reading Festival 2008 Work

Team Recycle

Reading Festival is increasing its environmental responsibility by this year including 200 Team Recycle stewards.

If you missed out on a ticket to the festival, or other stewarding positions, have a passion for the environment and want to help get the festival goers to recycle as much as possible, then please join Team Recycle. You will be stationed at the recycle bins in the campgrounds and show people which bin to put their cans and bottles into. There is no hands-on rubbish sorting work in the waste depot.

Green Messengers

Leeds and Reading festivals are looking to recruit Green Messengers to work in the campsites at each festival, talking to the festival goers and encouraging them to be environmentally aware in the disposal of their rubbish, particularly in packing up. Festival Republic are keen to alert festival goers to the environmental impact of burning their tents and possessions instead of taking them home or donating them.
