Recycle Rama - Ingham County

Project Description

Volunteers will be helping with a variety of roles/duties. Examples include:

Welcome wagon - This team will help direct traffic and welcome people to Recycle Rama. You will answer questions from the public about the event, serve as an ambassador for all of the event partners, complete a two question survey for participants, and keep things moving safely with support from local law enforcement and CERT.

Appliances - We need a crew that can lift and move appliances from vehicles safely. Closed toed shoes are required and we suggest heavyweight clothes.

Bikes - Sort and collect bikes for local bike programs including Kids Repair Program and MSU Bikes. Bikes that are not usable will be scrapped. 

And many more!!
