There are Three parts to your job

1. Safety, Safety, Safety!!!!

• No smoking near the tree piles or in the trailer

• Do not let volunteers strain themselves or take risks
• Watch volunteers for signs of hypothermia
• There is a cell phone in the trailer (945-1899)

3. Keep volunteers busy

There is usually lots to do at the site - keeping volunteers busy keeps them warm and interested. The site looks friendlier when there are people outside working. We are more likely to get donations when there are people around.

Volunteer Jobs:

• Greeting the public - assisting them with their tree & phone book etc, giving out a leaflet and asking for a donation
• Removing nails, wire, etc. from trees
• Stacking and throwing trees
• Moving snow away from tree piles and dumpsters
• Flattening cardboard (see info on 3R’s festival)
• Piling phone books at one end of the dumpster (see info on 3R’s festival)
• Removing plastic and Styrofoam from collection dumpsters and place into Garbage dumpster
