Opportunities From: The City of Plano

Help celebrate Texas Recycles Day by volunteering at Live Green in Plano’s annual drive-thru collection event. This event provides unwanted, usable items a second chance while helping organizations in need.  Items collected during the event are donated to the onsite organizations while being kept out of the landfill. Additionally, electronics recycling and secure paper shredding are offered at the event.

Documents in boxes to be shredded are dropped off in this drive-thru line. Volunteers will help unload the boxes from cars and dump the documents into the onsite cart for shredding (operated by the shredding company).

A background check is required to volunteer at this event for adults (ages 18+).

 

This is a fast-paced environment to ensure that cars continually move through the line as quickly as possible. Volunteers must be able to work on their feet (outdoors) for the duration of the shift (breaks provided as needed) and move quickly.

·         Must be able to work in a fast paced environment to ensure cars move through line quickly
