Volunteers- NC

The Orange County Solid Waste Management Department is seeking Recycling Volunteers for Hog Day.

Recycling volunteers are needed for two upcoming special events! Recycling volunteers make waste reduction happen in a MAJOR way at area special events—in some cases more than 85% is diverted from landfill disposal through composting and recycling! Recycling hours are eligible for high school service learning requirements and it makes a great activity for student, scout, church or other civic group to TRULY make a difference in our community!

Recycling Volunteers are needed for Hog Day, May 18 and 19, River Park in Hillsborough Volunteers receive a free t-shirt and BBQ sandwich!

Volunteer shifts are:
Friday May 18 from 4-7PM help set up trash sorting stations and distribute bins throughout the festival grounds.
Saturday May 19: 9AM-12PM, 12-3PM, 3-6PM, 6-9PM.

Volunteers will staff the trash sorting stations, rove to collect recyclables throughout the event, liaison with the BBQ tent and other food vendors to help them reduce waste and recycle as much as possible. The Orange County Solid Waste Management Department will host an information booth where volunteers can check in, hang out, and talk trash!

All recycling volunteers will be provided with gloves, hand sanitizer and many thanks! Sign up for this event by contacting Muriel Williman (919) 968-2788 or email mwilliman@co.orange.nc.us
