Come help us out any Saturday afternoon! Green Star needs your help with processing the recyclables collected by the Borough at the Central Recycling Facility. Volunteers help us with some of these tasks:
- Cutting cords off devices and sorting them
- Unloading electronics from the borough’s shipments
- Sorting and packaging electronics to prepare them for shipment
- Dismantling and destroying computer hard drives
- Sorting and preparing batteries for shipment
- Testing and fixing computers and parts for resale
Please sign up to volunteer in advance using the form below. You are welcome to volunteer for the full noon to 4pm shift, or for just part of it, we are happy to accommodate your schedule. You may also call (907) 452-4152 or email to schedule a time to come by and help.
Training is provided onsite. All volunteer shifts are conducted at our 1101 Well Street warehouse, accessed through the gated chain-link fence on the right side of the ACS building.
- Volunteers must be aged 14 or older.
- Volunteers under age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult (unless the volunteer is cleared by a Green Star staff member to be allowed to work without being accompanied).
- All new volunteers will be asked to sign a waiver and release of liability. You may either download the waiver and bring it with you, or you can fill it out when you arrive at the warehouse.
- Volunteers under age 18 must have their volunteer waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian.
