                                                                              UR Volunteer Duties

Policy: Volunteers will participate in an orientation, in person, at the Recycling Center with a Lead Volunteer or the UR Program Manager. Hours are 9 AM - 2 PM. Normal shifts will be 2 1/2 hours, 9-11:30 or 11:30 – 2.
Volunteers will welcome and assist customers with their recyclables, provide information about recycling and KUB, and keep UR clean and safe for volunteers and customers.
Procedures:
  • Ask customers to sign in on the Customer Drop-Off Form
  • Provide customers with a list of what is accepted, if needed.
  • If not sure an item is recyclable, put it in the garbage. “When in doubt, throw it out!”
  • Plastic or metal items with heavy food debris should be cleaned or should not be accepted. Paper items and boxes are NOT acceptable with any food debris or oily residue.
  • Tell the Lead if there is a problem or if there are questions
  • Leave the site neat & clean at the end of the shift. Put materials and equipment away.
  • Empty plastic collection bins. Cover Gaylords to keep the paper dry
  • Log total hours on the Volunteer Time Sheet in the binder in the office
  • Be sure the A/C or heater is off, light is off, office door is locked, windows are closed, and both balers are locked down
