EARTH DAY eCYCLING EVENT 2009
EARTH DAY eCYCLING EVENT
Saturday, April 18, 2009 - National Harbor
I want to Volunteer and help make eCycling Day a success!
Job Duties
There are a variety of duties that volunteers can do during their shift. Everybody can help – you don’t have to carry old computers to play a crucial role in the day’s event. The volunteer agrees that he/she will cooperate with EPA on the Earth Day eCycling Event and agrees not to submit a claim for compensation for any services rendered in connection with this event.
Greeter:
Greeters are the first people participants see upon arriving at the collection event. Greeters welcome the recyclers, hand them printed information, answer any initial questions, ask the drivers to please drive slowly up to the unloading area and to remain in their cars throughout the unloading process. The Greeter is also in charge of collecting some basic survey data.
Traffic Control:
Traffic Control personnel help manage traffic flow both in and out of the unloading area taking care to wait until unloading teams are clearly out of the traffic flow before allowing vehicles to move forward. Traffic control personnel will also check to see how well traffic is moving from the street into the closed areas and will count the number of vehicles we are servicing.
Unloaders, Sorters and Stackers:
In the main work area our goal is to safely and quickly remove all computer equipment from participating vehicles. Once removed, we sort and pack the equipment on pallets and in boxes. We will have professional crew members on site to help pack pallets and boxes (for smaller peripherals) and work the forklift, but they need help to make the process go quickly and smoothly. We need the majority of volunteers in this area.
Tent Helpers:
There will be a tent set up with materials for participants to learn more about the importance of eCycling. We will need several volunteers to help bundle the materials and giveaway items into Whole Foods canvas bags which will be distributed to the participants. Working the tent will also require keeping water and refreshments available for all volunteers, and keeping the site clean during the event (replacing full trash bags).
