Recycling Center Volunteers

Saturday, May 11, morning or afternoon shifts available

Location: Red Bridge (south KCMO)

Can you and a friend be our eco-heroes and volunteer for a few hours this Saturday, May 11? Two shifts to choose from: either 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM or 1:00 – 5:00 PM.  Help your community and the environment by volunteering at our Red Bridge Recycling Center! Recycling preserves forests; keeps oil, natural gas, and minerals in the ground; and prevents air and water pollution. Bridging The Gap’s Community Recycling Centers are essential because they accept items not recycled curbside and provide options to the many people who do not have recycling available at home.

This outdoor volunteer opportunity is great for students who want to earn service-learning hours.  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.

Location:

Red Bridge Recycling Center: 5200 E. Red Bridge Rd., Kansas City, MO 64137 in the KCATA Park-and-Ride commuter parking lot.
