Please see below for our current volunteer opportunities. If you would like to sign up to volunteer, please complete the form below and indicate which program and date you would like to sign up for. A PRC staff member will confirm with you, and provide additional details closer to the event.
2023 Household Hazardous Waste Collections
At
Household Chemical Collections, you can recycle most chemical products found in the home, garage, garden shed, and more. Volunteers may
dispose of $20 worth of household hazardous waste for free. Volunteers will be asked to direct traffic, check in registrants, or check trunks.
All volunteer opportunities are from 8 am – event end (1 pm) unless otherwise indicated. Full shifts are preferred, but any time you can help is much appreciated!

At
Hard to Recycle Collections, you can recycle electronics, cell phones, tires, and more. Volunteers may dispose of
