Music Waste Festival and CiTR/Discorder are also excited to welcome The Binners Project to this year’s party. “The Binners Project is a group of waste-pickers aided by support staff dedicated to improving their economic opportunities, and reducing the stigma they face as informal recyclable collectors,” says Anna Godefory, the Binners’ project director. Binners will be onsite during the event to help reduce incorrect waste disposal and educate attendees about recycling options.
The VSBP acknowledges that the festival is organized and takes place on unceded Indigenous land belonging to the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
