TAIL GATE RECYCLING

Home football game tailgating recycling events will occur on 9/8/2012 (East Carolina); 9/15/2012 (UAB); 9/22/2012 (Missouri); 10/6/2012 (Georgia); 10/27/2012 (Tennessee); 11/10/2012 (Arkansas); and 11/17/2012 (Woffard & America Recycles Day event).

We will need to recruit around 30 volunteers at each game to hand out plastic recycling bags to tailgaters as they enter the main tailgating lots. Volunteers are needed beginning 5 to 6 hours before kickoff, unless its a noon game in which case they are needed around 8 AM. Each volunteer will be asked to commit to a 2 to 3 hour shift, depending on how busy the game is, and should be done well in advance of kickoff. Volunteers are also given a tshirt. Anyone interested in volunteer should contact Malte Weiland at weiland@fmc.sc.edu.
