There are more ways to recycle than just through a curbside collection program. Residents in Kansas City, MO can take their materials to a community recycling drop-off center. You can join Bridging The Gap in creating an environmentally sustainable city! Would you like to learn more about how to recycle or are you passionate about wasting fewer resources? Come volunteer with us! Volunteers learn about the recycling center operations and assist the recycling center site manager with various duties, such as breaking down cardboard, and helping educate patrons about getting their materials in the correct bins.
Recycling isn’t a new idea. In fact, many of us have been recycling for decades. We’re making a difference, but it’s not enough. The average person in the Kansas City metro still throws out about 7 pounds of waste every day. And when 41 percent of waste in the landfill is paper, we know we can do better. We just need to know how, and start making those changes. Every small step makes a huge difference, and there are more opportunities to recycle more products today than ever before. You can be part of the solution!
Recommended shifts are Saturdays from 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM, with opportunities available Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays as well.
