As part of the Recycle Indianapolis initiative, resources for recycling
will be provided at several major events throughout the year. The
Event Recycling Team (ERT) volunteers will be responsible for the
collection of recyclable beverage containers at major public events.
Media Release 06-14-07. This is a DIRTY JOB!!!! For that reason, and for safety reasons, we are
asking that volunteers be at least 16 years of age (for younger children
accompanied with an adult volunteer, please contact volunteer coordinator:
Tammy Stevens, 264-7555, ext. 116.
The first shift of volunteers will help set up the recycling bins, the last
shift in breaking down.
All shifts will be responsible for monitoring/maintaining the recycling
bins. What this means is that you will be taking any trash out of the
recycling bin (with a litter picker-upper), and putting it in the trash.
Also, we’ll be looking for recyclables in the trash and transferring to the
recycling bin (within reason!). When the bags are full, you will replace the
bags with an empty and put the full bag on the golf cart. When the golf cart
is full, the bags will then be taken to the collection dumpster.
Volunteers will also have recycling information available in case festival
attendees are interested.
Now for the perks!
You get into the event for free! You get a really cool T-shirt! As an
Event Recycling Team member, you will get a t-shirt, in the size that you
prefer, to wear at each event that you work.
You’ll sleep better at night knowing that you’ve done a wonderful thing by
not only providing education to those who need it, but by also keeping
valuable resources out of the landfill!
This program will not work without you, so if you volunteer for a shift,
please make it a priority. If you cannot be there for that shift, please let
either Lisa or Tammy know as soon as possible so that we can fill your
shift. While you are volunteers, by signing up you are making a commitment
that the rest of us are depending upon you to fulfill.
Thank you so very much for your time, energy, and commitment! We hope to see
you at the next ERT event!
