 Volunteer induction meeting at the Waveform Project, Devon, September 2007.
The Maker Green Team is a unique UK based volunteer constituted 'not for profit' community events recycling organisation. Currently we receive zero funding from public or private trust bodies. Our operations are totally dependent on the good will and private funding from our membership & third party festival organisations.
News: June 2008
The Maker Green Team scumbusted the cancelled Sunrise Celebration site despite major access issues caused by the flooding and the clay mud surface. We had 110 volunteers on site on Wednesday 28th May but this number dropped to less than 30 persons by Friday morning. Operation Sunrise had to be abandoned as there was no rota and we instantly switched from pre festival to post festival. This caused difficulties as crew, traders and the 1000 odd attendees totaling 4500 persons left loads of waste for our small skeleton team to deal with. We estimate we had over 25 tons of contaminated waste to deal with by Monday morning. By Sunday 8th June the bulk of the site had been cleared however the arena area was still un-accessible and waste had been driven over and had set hard into the churned up ground. We finally finished on Wednesday 11th of June and departed Bearley Farm for Maker Heights for a couple of days R & R there. A big thank you to Ian of the Sunrise crew for assisting us with the tractor and trailer driving and our skeleton crew that remained to tackle the environmental disaster that became Sunrise Celebration 2008.
Stodge's Beford MK 4x4 finally stuck in the abandoned crew field at Sunrise Celebration 2008.
Sunbird of Earth Heart Productions commented on our dedicated clear up of Bearley Farm ''Thank you all, you are becoming some sort of recycling phenomena!'
