Our Store provide a free metal recycling program that raises funds to build Habitat homes by collecting scrap metal from donations we do not sell. In 2021, our metal recycling team was able to raise $35,000 for our homeownership and repair programs!
With the help of volunteers like you, our Store diverts tons of metal waste from our landfills by ensuring it is responsibly recycled to maximize our profit for each metal type. We work with local companies that recycle these items and the Clark County Habitat for Humanity Store receives payment for the collection of metal waste which is then used to help build homes for families.
This volunteer shift involves dismantling various items to separate the metal and sorting the metals for recycle. This position does not involve customer interaction.
Metal Recycling Volunteers will start by shadowing seasoned recycling volunteers for a few shifts before becoming independent.
Age Requirements: 14-16 y/o volunteers must be accompanied by an adult 21+ at all times. Volunteers 16-18 do not need an adult, but do need a legal guardian to complete their waiver. Volunteers under 18 are not permitted to use power tools.
