    Description

    Help Clean Up Our Environment on Fridays: Become An e-CYCLING Volunteer!

    Calling all tree huggers!

    We have an ongoing need for volunteers to help with the Good News Project's e-CYCLING program. Volunteers are needed every Friday between the hours of 9-4 to help keep electronic waste out of our landfills. Our scheduling is very flexible; you can choose to volunteer every Friday or once or twice a month, full days, half days, or just a couple of hours.

    Key Activities:

    1. Customer Service: Greet customers, fill out customer form, advocate for Good News Project
    2. Lifter/Sorter: Unload cars to wagons, weigh electronics, sort electronics into shipping containers

    What to wear: Dress for the weather; we suggest layers. Wear comfortable closed-toed shoes. Electronics can be dirty so please plan accordingly.

    Physical requirements:

    • Ability to stand for the duration of your shift.
    • As a lifter/sorter you would be required to lift 50lbs.

    If you are passionate about keeping our earth as healthy as possible, we urge to check us out!

    Not sure if this is the right volunteer project for you? We recommend that new volunteers come in and take a tour. You can even schedule to do a trial shift with no commitment!

    Contact us today!
