Places are now open to apply to be a volunteer on the Green Team at Reading. These steward positions help work the recycling initiatives at the festival. You need to be full of energy, not mind getting your hands dirty and are a passionate recycler. If you don’t have a green bone in your body, don’t bother applying – unless you go and get yourself a crash course on recycling and the environment and then come back to us!

Go HERE for the application form

You will do some or all of the following:

• Hand out bin bags to people on arrival.
• Tell the campers about the recycling initiatives, especially promoting the idea of packing their camping gear down and taking it home.
• Be stationed at the sets of recycling bins throughout the campgrounds telling people what bin to put their recycling in. You will be armed with a litter picking stick and be required to pick out the wrong stuff that gets thrown in the wrong bin when you’re not looking. You may also do some litter picking around the roadway your bin is stationed on.  Daytime shifts only.
• Be part of our Recycle Exchange team. You will receive bags of cans and other rubbish from the campers and hand out beer vouchers. You’ll need to be a bit bossy for this job as you’ll have to make the people pick out any ‘contaminants’ from the bags they bring back before you hand over their beer voucher. We are also looking at a way of collecting up all the trashed metal chairs, so you may end up on that duty too.
• Be part of our Compost Crew. These will be highly sought after arena jobs, so volunteers will need to jump through a few hoops to get this role. The Compost Crew will roam around the arena with a handy hoop and a litter picking stick working as mobile compost bins. This is so people don’t have to sit in each others' squished kebabs and also so we capture the estimated 70% of compostable waste produced in the arena ends up as compost and not as methane puffing out of a landfill. OK, so not such a glamorous job, but we’ll kit you out in some fun t-shirts and you’ll get to see and hear the bands.
• You will be promoting the option of packing down their gear and donating it to our Tent Recycling points.
• Staffing Tent Recycling points on the Monday morning.
• Working in the sorting area to re-pack all the donated gear.
• Salvaging and scavenging good quality re-usable gear that’s left in the campsites, to go to charity and community organisations.

This year we’re going to have 2 GREEN TEAMS. 
- Early team A will work between Wednesday 25th and Saturday 28th. 
- The second team B will work between Sunday 29th and Tuesday 31st.  The second team will take part in the salvage after show days.

You need to be:

• Over 18 years at the time of the festival.
• Be willing to pay a shift deposit of £234 (which includes £9 non-refundable PayPal fee) in advance which will be refunded one month after the festival, assuming you complete your shifts.
• Have approval to work in the UK if not an EU citizen (holiday work permits are OK).
• Work 24 hours, on shifts allocated by us, between Wednesday and Saturday or Sunday and Tuesday.
• Arrive on site Wednesday 25th in the morning before 12pm.

You will camp in crew camping with access to hot showers, and nice loos.
You won’t get free meals though, sorry.
