Job Description:

The groundskeeper must be prepared to work from 9:00am until 6:30pm on all three Festival days.

The grounds keeper is responsible for the litter and garbage collection at the Festival site.

The grounds keeper must be in costume at all times.

The grounds keeper will set out each morning the specially prepared wooden framed garbage bag holders and ensure that each holder has a fresh plastic bag before the gates open at 10.00 am.

Throughout the day the keeper will pull a purpose built wooden cart around the site and empty the garbage bag holders.

The grounds keeper will also be responsible for picking up any loose articles of garbage which are found to be littering the ground.

At gate closing each night the grounds keepers must make a sweep of all the garbage containers and collect any partially filled bags so as not to attract animals onto the site.
