RECYCLE!<br />

Design<strong>at</strong>e a central collection area for garbage and<br />

recycling, where drop boxes or dumpsters are staged.<br />

This area can serve as a place for recycling volunteers to check in, sort<br />

m<strong>at</strong>erials if needed, and observe the m<strong>at</strong>erial flow. St<strong>at</strong>ion someone<br />

here throughout the event.<br />

<strong>Recycling</strong> volunteers should be easy to identify, e.g., by a<br />

h<strong>at</strong>, vest, T-shirt, apron, etc.<br />

Use walkie-talkies to communic<strong>at</strong>e with the recycling coordin<strong>at</strong>or, key<br />

volunteers and event organizers <strong>at</strong> large events.<br />

Use hand trucks, carts or “g<strong>at</strong>ors” (mini-trucks) to transport<br />

m<strong>at</strong>erial from the recycling st<strong>at</strong>ions to the central collection<br />

area.<br />
