Wanted: Recycling Volunteers

Recycling in the city has declined and we need YOU to help get NYC recycling again! New Yorkers need to recycle more, and OROE's borough -wide coordinators are training volunteers, building managers and landlords to recycle properly. New Yorkers need to waste less too, so OROE is providing an array of special waste collections for materials such as clothing and electronics. From tenant trainings in buildings to compost workshops in community gardens and recycling games and rap-offs in public places, OROE is out there teaching the public, and we could use some dedicated volunteers who want to learn about recycling and then help spread the word citywide.

Please RSVP to attend our volunteer orientation on Tuesday, May 20th from 6:30pm to 8pm in our offices near City Hall. Learn what's new with recycling in NYC and find out how you can get involved with OROE. Pizza and other refreshments will be provided.

For more information or to RSVP and receive meeting location details call 212-676-2081 or use our handy contact form to send a message to "Recycling-Volunteer".
