Can you and a friend be our eco-heroes and volunteer for a few hours on Saturday, June 30? If the exact shift time (above) do not work for you, we can be flexible.

Help your community and the environment by volunteering at one of our community recycling centers! This outdoor volunteer opportunity is great for students who want to stay busy this summer and gain community engagement experience (looks great on college applications!).  Recycling preserves forests; keeps oil, natural gas, and minerals in the ground; and prevents air and water pollution. Volunteers assist the recycling center site manager with various duties, such as breaking down cardboard, assisting patrons, etc.  Min age: 8, with parent. (10 yrs old for youth groups).  Max group size: 6.
