VRD Zero Waste Team member for Yeti Hockey Games

Staff would be responsible for engaging eventgoers at designated waste stations to verbally instruct where waste items should be disposed of. Walk rounds at the event “top sorting” through bins. After the event, staff members will assist in removing and sorting the accumulated waste to limit the amount of contamination in compost and recycle bins. We will be very hands-on, reaching into various waste bins, carrying heavy bags, and lifting waste into dumpsters. 

 If you are interested in being a part of the solution to educate the public about waste reduction and help local initiatives meet sustainable community goals, you would be a great asset to the VRD Zero Waste team. 

Schedule: Fridays and Saturdays, December – March, approximately 6:30 PM – 11 PM,

Compensation: $100/event
