---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A team of 36 dedicated volunteers are sought to make the Rock the Harbor Music Festival New York City’s most environmentally sustainable rock concert of 2008. Volunteers will tend the concert’s four zero waste stations for three short hours in groups of three, and enjoy the concert for the remainder of the day at their leisure.

Volunteer time shifts:

1. 11am-2:15pm "The Early Shift"
2. 2pm-5:15pm "The Afternoon Shift"
3. 5pm-8:15pm "The Late Shift

The role of the volunteers is to educate and remind concertgoers that:

• Metal, glass and plastic recyclables belong in the blue bin
• Paper and cardboard recyclables go in the green bin
• Food waste can be placed in the brown bin for composting on-site at the Staten Island Botanical Gardens

Committed volunteers will make recycling easy by explaining the recycling system and reminding concertgoers in a friendly way to assure that everyone has a great time recycling at Rock the Harbor, and returns home feeling empowered to recycle.

To volunteer for this extraordinary event please contact Michael Rieser via our handy contact form or by calling (212) 788-7931 directly. Please provide your email address, phone number, and shift preference.

The Office of Recycling Outreach and Education is a program of Council on the Environment of New York City.
