Volunteer Opportunity Descriptions
Route Pick up
There are a couple of trucks running on defined routes in the University. You could
go by yourself on a small truck or accompany another teammate on the Big truck. The
recyclable stuff is picked up from the designated spots/points/Loading Docks (LD).
It may or may not have to be sorted depending upon the collection. In the end its
dropped at the WestWood building for final sorting, baling and loading on the semi
truck.
