Volunteer

As with most non-profit organizations, S.A.V.E. owes much of its success to volunteer efforts. Volunteers can help with anything from recycling drives, to policy work, or even general office tasks. We'll take volunteers of all ages, so volunteering with us can become an activity for the whole family!

Please take some time to read through our volunteer opportunities below. If you would like to help S.A.V.E. in any way, please call the office at 406.449.6008 or email recycle @ Savemobile.org. We look forward to working with you in the future!

Upcoming Events

Greeter at September's Plastics Recycling Drive

S.A.V.E.'s next plastics recycling collections will be September 3-7 from 8am-6pm. We can always use volunteers to be at the site to greet people and answer common questions. Volunteers assist participants in sorting their plastics, answering questions, and helping people with limited mobility get their plastics into the correct bins. Staff will be on hand for orientation and additional support. Gloves will be provided for all volunteers. Click here to see the Plastics Volunteer Guide.

Volunteer for Erase your E*Waste

S.A.V.E. is helping to organize the Erase your E*Waste event which will be held on September 18th, 2010 from 9am to 1pm. We are looking for volunteers who are familar with electronics and can easily add up numbers in their head to take inventory of the products brought in and write up a receipt. We will also need volunteers to help with unloading the electronics from people's vehicles and onto pallets. Beverages and water will be provided for all volunteers.
