Opportunity for music lovers who are passionate about recycling and composting!
Get your environmental groove on as you rock out!
 Join a
fun bunch of volunteers at Marymoor Park this summer to be a concert Composter/Recycler, and get to listen to great music at the same time!
Help
educate concert goers on recycling and composting, which in turn
diverts concert waste from the landfill. Free concert & parking when
you volunteer for a shift.
For more information on which concerts still have shifts available, contact Nancie Hernandez.
