Do you wish you could do something directly about the amount of trash that goes into our landfill?

Join your recycling efforts with those of thousands of others by volunteering at a Community Recycling Center . The centers are open every week Wednesday through Saturday and are almost completely staffed by volunteers!  This is a great volunteer opportunity for individuals, groups or students with service requirements. Volunteers help unload recyclers' cars, help recyclers carry their recyclables to the appropriate bins and help answer their recycling questions.

•  Three locations - 3 Trails/Bannister, UMKC/Midtown, and Metro North Shopping Center.
• Scheduling is flexible - students may volunteer as many or as few times as they like.

Call 816-561-1090 for more information or to schedule a shift.
