DESCRIPTION
Without us, much of North Fulton wouldn't recycle. North Fulton needs your help!
Guide customers to the correct bin for their recyclables, assist in collecting donations, sort incoming recyclables, and bale cardboard and plastics so that our materials are ready to be recycled into new products.
Dress: Please dress in comfortable protective clothes for that day's weather conditions and ensure that you have closed-toe shoes. You will be outdoors for the duration of this opportunity and working in close proximity to heavy items, motor vehicles, and machinery. We want you to be comfortable and safe! Please also bring your own clearly-marked water bottle to reduce single-use plastics.
