ABOUT THE TASK
As a Green Guardian Sorting Guide, your role is to help staff the sorting stations at the festival. Sorting waste helps reduce resource waste and contributes to the goal of achieving a greener festival.
The purpose of your role is to ensure that waste is sorted correctly at the festival and that participants have the opportunity to do so at the sorting stations.
Your tasks will include:
- Guiding participants to sort their waste correctly at the sorting station, as well as ensuring the station remains presentable.
- Engaging in proactive conversations with participants, encouraging them to sort their waste.
- Managing and cleaning the area around the sorting station.
- Socializing with curious participants.
- Providing guidance and information on sorting and recycling to festival-goers.
This important task will take place in areas centrally located in the festival's camping grounds, where you will have ample opportunity to inform and motivate festival-goers to sort their waste. Your efforts will contribute to a greener festival.
As a 32-hour volunteer, you will have four shifts of 8 hours each, spread across the entire festival week (from the festival's first day on June 28th to Sunday, July 6th). You will have the chance to influence your shift schedule, but you can expect to have two shifts during the First Days and two shifts during the music days.
You will work alongside at least one other 32-hour volunteer. You also have the option to sign up with a friend. Shifts will mostly take place during the daytime, so there is no night work, and you won’t miss the biggest concerts.

- You are passionate about helping create a greener festival
- You thrive among trash and waste
- You enjoy talking to happy festival-goers who need to dispose of waste and items for direct reuse
- At times, you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and do some hard work

ABOUT US
Team Participant Sorting and Recycling is an integral part of Roskilde Festival. The team consists of 10 year-round volunteers who work throughout the year to plan and develop initiatives aimed at increasing the sorting of waste for recycling and reuse at the festival. In addition, several hundred festival volunteers help turn these plans into reality and fulfill the goals during the festival. This is where you come in!
We have many years of experience with some waste initiatives, while others are brand new in our ongoing efforts to improve year after year and sort more waste, reducing it from the festival grounds so that resources can be utilized in the best possible way. We hope you will join the team and contribute to making Roskilde Festival cleaner and more sustainable. In return, we will do our very best to create a great festival where you, as a volunteer, feel seen, heard, and appreciated – both for who you are and for the work you do.
