 "Recycling
Away from Home", or RAH, is a joint project involving
Sierra Club, Marquette Neighborhood Association, Wil-Mar Center
and Community Car. The goal is to provide recycling facilities
for neighborhood festivals and events in Madison. Right now
our focus is on the 4 festivals in the Marquette Neighborhood
(Waterfront, La Fete, Orton Park & Willy St Fair) but
we hope to expand our reach over time.

for full details
We also
encourage vendors participating in these events to use recyclable
(ex:beer cups) or bio-degradable (ex:food takeaway clamshells)
materials. There is also a growing movement to get city and
county processes in place to mandate recycling at any festival
or event in the area.
Why
We Need You:
To
be a part of the "Recycling Krewe".
Since the city does not provide these services, we are in
charge of checking and replacing bags in the recycling bins
scattered around the event. Its not hard work, and you aren't
asked to do anything you're not comfortable with. And you
can often drink beer, listen to music, watch the people and
enjoy the festival while you do it! How can you beat that
for a volunteer job!
To
help "sit" our information table.
At these festivals, we usually have a Sierra Club presence
to get the word out on our activities. Volunteers help by
handing out Sierra Club information about membership,
outings, our Saving
Energy Together campaign, and our youth program
Inner City Outings. We also have sign-up sheets to collect
contact information from potential volunteers or those with
questions. And, of course, we're still selling our cool "I'm
Here to Save the Planet" t-shirts!
