Green Decade Newton, in collaboration with the City of Newton Department of Public Works, is seeking numerous volunteers (16 years and older) to walk in pairs around Newton’s neighborhoods, while adhering “recycling education stickers” onto all residential green bins, during the spring and summer months. Maps will be provided and work will be conducted primarily in the morning hours.

The “Recycle Sticker Project” will help remind everyone of what may or may not be placed in our green bins. Funding for the stickers has been provided by Green Decade, Whole Foods Market and Waste Management with a goal to raise awareness about recycling…not only to benefit our environment, but to also reap substantial financial savings on the cost of disposing the City’s trash.

So, if you enjoy spending time outdoors and want to help increase participation in Newton’s recycling program, please contact info@greendecade.org to volunteer.
