Eastside
Café
Recycling Challenge
2010
Volunteer
Objectives
Art City Austin is committed
to reducing, reusing and recycling everything
possible to keep the environmental impact of
our art festival to a bare minimum and to help
keep Austin beautiful. Each volunteer
will play a vital role in this project by collecting
recyclable materials and manning watering
stations throughout the festival.
- As
a competitor in the Eastside Café Recycling
Challenge at Art City Austin, you will collect
and facilitate the recycling of all materials
formerly known as “trash!” You
will be the keys to the success of our
efforts to make this the greenest festival
in Austin.
- You
will be given a “Rabid Recycler” t-shirt
to be worn throughout the festival to make
you easily identifiable as a member of
our recycling teams. T-shirts will be
handed out at the meeting at Volunteer Check-In
immediately prior to your volunteer shift.
- You
and your non-profit team will be competing
for a chance to win a $1000 cash prize (2nd
prize $500, 3rd prize $300, 4th prize
$100) by collecting the highest volume of
uncontaminated recyclables.
- Recyclable
materials including all clean plastics (such
as empty beverage cups, plates, forks knives
and spoons which have been wiped free
of food), empty soda cans, and all clean paper
products (not food stained napkins) will
be placed in recycling bins. All
food products, liquids, food-stained napkins
and wet paper cups will be placed in
composting receptacles. You will receive
instruction on proper sorting of recyclables
at the Recycling Challenge participants meeting
at Volunteer Check-In just prior to your
shift.
- At
least one volunteer must remain at your team’s
assigned recycling/water stations at all times
to keep recyclables and water from becoming
contaminated. Otherwise, recyclables can be
collected throughout the festival grounds
in any way actively or passively that does
not include the taking of recyclable materials
from a competing team or the purposeful wasting
of consumables in order to create recyclable materials. Two
wheeled Recycling containers will be provided
to each team as “roving” recycling
bins.
- Full
recycling bins will be inspected, collected
and tallied by Green Team festival judges
who will confirm the volume of recyclables
and the quality of separation of food and liquids
from recyclables. Recyclables contaminated
by food or liquid non-recyclable materials
will be disqualified and will not be counted
toward recycling volume totals.
- Eastside
Café Recycling Challenge contest winners
will be announced to the public on the main
music stage of Art City Austin at 5:00
p.m. on Sunday the 25th. Cash awards
in the form of a check will be given
to winning teams at 6:00 p.m. at the conclusion
of the contest. In order to be
eligible to collect cash prizes, winning teams
must continue to collect recyclable materials
and man water stations until the conclusion
of the festival at 6:00.
