VOLUNTEERS NEEDED to help with New Haven's E-Waste Collection

Hello Recycling Enthusiasts!

By now you’ve hopefully heard that New Haven is coordinating a one-day collection for electronic waste (more info below).

The event is THIS Saturday, August 22, 2009, 9am – 4pm.

VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED (please pass onto others you think might be interested)

They’re hoping for volunteers to give 4 hours (8am to 12noon or 1pm to 5pm) but think they would take folks who could do a minimum of 2 hours.

Can you help? They need help with greeting folks as they come in, conducting a short survey, traffic control etc.

If you’re willing to volunteer, please contact Howard Weissberg at 203-946-7700 or 203-946-8092.

If you can give some time it’s appreciated. And sorry it’s such short notice.
