PHILACYCLER VOLUNTEER RESPONSIBILITIES:
Philacycler Volunteers are responsible for manning one tri-material waste station, located throughout the event. Waste stations are comprised of three bins: waste, compost, and recycling. Philacycler volunteers will direct event participants to deposit their waste in the appropriate bin, and if necessary, redistribute any waste that gets put in the wrong bin.
PHILACYCLER CAPTAIN VOLUNTEER RESPONSIBILITIES:
Philacycler Captains are the Zero Waste experts for the event. Captains are responsible for overseeing a given area of the event and supervising a small group of Philacycler Volunteers. Philacycler Captains sign-in their volunteers and provide volunteers with a brief training on how to man the tri-material waste stations. Philacycler Captains are available to answer questions.
