The Community Recycling Centers need you to help reduce the amount of trash going to the landfill!

Extra volunteers are needed on Saturday, January 7 and 14 to help with the influx of holiday packaging. Sign up to volunteer at one of the recycling centers, and you’ll help conserve resources, reduce waste, and meet other citizens who care about the environment.

Scheduling is flexible – whatever amount of time you can give is appreciated! This is a great opportunity for individuals or groups. Volunteers are needed at the following locations: 91st and Hillcrest and Metro North Shopping Center. Contact Amy Smith at 816-561-1090 or e-mail amy.smith@bridgingthegap.org.

No time of the year is more emotional than the holiday season, whether you're bursting with the joy of baking and caroling or overwhelmed with the stress of shopping and wrapping. But even with all those other factors weighing on your mind, it's possible to put a green spin on your holidays; simple tips and easy substitutions mean you can come through this season of indulgence without leaving a massive carbon footprint.  

Great group opportunity!  Urgent volunteer need!

Join Keep Kansas City Beautiful, partners, and residents in restoring the beauty of select historic Northeast neighborhoods this fall! We’ll fill dumpsters with litter and trailers with tires and celebrate the beauty when we’re done! To sign up, contact Kate Becker at 816-561-1061, ext. 113 or kate.becker@bridgingthegap.org
