Calling All Volunteers!

Help us recycle for the greater good

 

Volunteers are needed to collect recyclables at the October 30th OSU football game to both help OSU compete in the EPA’s Game Day Recycling Challenge and fundraise for the Linn Benton Food Share. Recyclables will be collected from tailgaters and container deposits will be redeemed and contributed to the food share to help fight hunger in our community.

 

There are two ways to get involved on October 30th:

 

9:00 am – 1:00 pm shift: Tailgater Recycling Collection

Be part of a team roving through tailgating areas with recycle bins prior to the game, collecting recyclables from fans.

 

10:00 am – 2:00 pm shift: Receiving and Loading

Be part of team that receives the material, sorts it if needed, and loads it into the truck.

 

To sign up or ask questions, please contact Andrea Norris at Andrea...@oregonstate.edu or 541-737-5398. Please sign up by Friday, October 29^th at noon so we can send you the meeting location and any last minute details.

 

Attending the Game? Help Boost our Numbers!

• Give recyclables to volunteers in tailgating areas. Volunteers will roam the tailgating areas with recycle carts to collect glass, metal, plastic, paper, and cardboard. If you do not see a volunteer, you can contribute your recyclables by taking them to the stadium gates as you enter the game.
• Pack it in, pack it out, or use designated trash bins. While tailgating, consider bringing trash home with you to help us reduce litter and waste. Alternatively, place trash in labeled trash bins and dumpsters, to make collection and measurements more efficient.
• Leave recyclables at your stadium seat. Leave recyclables at your stadium seat where our cleaning crews can collect them, rather than throwing them in a garbage can.

 

Thank you for helping make OSU and our community a better place!
