A Greener Labor Day Festival
Greenbelt Public Works, the Advisory Committee on Environmental Sustainability’s Zero Waste Circle (Green ACES-ZWC), and the Green Team, are striving to make the Greenbelt Labor Day Festival as green as possible. Trash and recycling bins will be placed in sets side by side. Some compost bins will be available. Food vendors will provide mostly recyclable/compostable dinnerware. Volunteers will encourage people to put their refuse in the correct bin and will be available for questions.
Volunteers Needed to Encourage Recycling and Composting
Public Works, and Green ACES are seeking volunteers to stand near sets of recycling, trash, and compost bins to cheerfully encourage and help people "recycle the recyclables," "compost the compostables," and "trash the trash."
Training will be provided at the Public Works building located at 555 Crescent Rd Greenbelt, MD on Thursday, August 23 andWednesday, August 29, at 7:30 PM. For students or any other volunteer we will be glad to sign community service hours and/or provide recommendations as appropriate. To register for the training please contact: Jason Martin, Greenbelt Environmental Coordinator, at jmartin@greenbeltmd.gov
