Zero Waste Station Volunteer
Enjoy the unique atmosphere of special events while educating the public about event recycling/composting efforts.

Join the Zero Waste Team at the October 2, 2019 Ann Arbor Farmers Market Food Truck Rally! The Food Truck Rallies are held on the first Wednesday of every month, May through October. The event features live music and fresh food from a variety of Michigan food trucks that offer everything from coffee and donuts to ice cream, wood fired pizza, sandwiches, salads and so much more.

As a volunteer on the Zero Waste Team you play a critical role in helping the Food Truck Rally achieve its waste diversion rate goal of 90%! Volunteers on the Zero Waste Team oversee a three-bin Zero Waste Station (one large compost bin, one large recycle bin, one small trash bin) to guide event patrons on which bin to place their materials in. The work of volunteers helps us avoid contamination and reach more community members in demonstrating the vast amount of our "waste" that can really be diverted from the landfill through composting and recycling.

When responding, please indicate which shift(s) you would like to sign-up for. 5:00 - 6:45 pm OR 6:30 - 8:15pm.

*Upon expressing your interest, we will send you back a confirmation email for the shift you specify. Closer to the event you will receive important volunteer information, logistics, and the meeting locations.
