What Volunteers Can Do
Give A Day Global volunteers will start the day with a tour of the recycle center to learn about all the different types of recycling and composting methods. Then volunteers can help local staff to sort and condense recyclables (this may involve breaking glass bottles into small glass pieces, sorting papers, bundling cardboard, etc). Volunteers may also help staff with making craft projects out of recyclables that are sold as a fundraiser for the center.
