Recycling

Recycling Volunteers will collect and sort the solid waste stream collected in the recycling containers located thought out the festival grounds. The collected waste will be sent to a composting site and the resulting compost is sent to the city of Lowell and the Lowell National Historical Park for landscaping. Bottles and cans will also be collected for recycling. Lowell Folk Festival has a 95% waste diversion and is recognized as a national model for recycling at large scale special events. This position requires long period of standing where you sort trash into assorted locations (Recycle, Trash, Cardboard, and Compost). The position may require extensive amounts of standing or walking on uneven surfaces in potential weather conditions of extreme heat or rain. You will be outside.
