Recycling Yard

Volunteers

The Recycling Yard seeks innovative, cheerful and hardworking friends ( that would be volunteers) for a 2-3 hour play date (every week? every month?). Activities include sorting games, visiting with other friends and neighbours and warm feelings of accomplishment. Sometimes snacks and music are provided; singing not mandatory. Interested? Why not sign up your pal too? Contact Vicki Walker (250-246-9126) for more interesting details.

Baler orientation training

We have a specialized piece of equipment at the yard, the "baler", to compact certain recycled materials to facilitate handling and transport. A baler machine operator is ideally supported by a yard volunteer who helps feed the baler and move  bales.

There are six openings available for another baler orientation training session to be held on Saturday, January 18, 2014, from 9:30 to 10:00 a.m. , to be followed up by baler operational experience during open-hours at the recycling yard. Please contact Henry Benskin (250-246-1212) if you would like one of the training spots. 

Paid jobs

A very limited number of hourly paid jobs will be required for re-structured yard operations. These jobs will be advertised on e-Spokes in mid-late January, and successful applicants will be hired through TIRRA. Anyone interested in applying is encouraged to take the baler training session.

This is one in a series of notices that we will be posting in connection with restructured operations at the Recycling Yard. 

Thank you, and please stay tuned for additional notices concerning the Recycling Yard.
