Recycling volunteers are needed for Hog Day at River Park in Hillsborough.
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! Sign up for this upcoming special event by contacting Muriel Williman by phone at (919) 968-2788 or email (mwilliman@co.orange.nc.us).
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.
At both events 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!
