The Recycling Team works in the warehouse at 9161 Atlee Road, Suite B Mechanicsville, VA 23116. The warehouse is in the back of the administrative offices.
*Hours can be flexible during 9 and 4. Please contact the Director of Community Engagement if you would like to work something other than what is listed on this opportunity.
Recycle volunteers are expected to:
- Please dress appropriately:
- Baggy clothes, open toe-shoes, or jewelry could create safety hazards in the store
- Pants to protect legs are highly recommended
- No revealing or vulgar clothing should be worn
- While the warehouse is somewhat temperature-controlled, keep the weather in mind! Some items we are working on are located outside. However, please do not wear shorts. There is a chance you will come in contact with sharp or rusty metals.
- No smoking on the premises
- Keep areas clean and neat
- Cooperate with staff and other volunteers
- No abusive language or misbehavior
- Use common sense at all times and be mindful of the safety of others
Things to bring:
- Lunch is not provided. There will be a 30-minute break for lunch usually around noon. Feel free to either pack a lunch and eat it in one of Habitat’s conference rooms or drive to a nearby restaurant.
- Water and snacks are highly recommended. There is a water fountain in the office to refill a water bottle.
- We provide safety and protective equipment. If the volunteer has work gloves that they like to use and fit well, we suggest bringing them.
Tools:
If the volunteer has the following items, and can bring them, please do so. While we have some tools, there may not be enough for everyone to work at the same time.
- Screw driver (manual or power)
- Wrenches
- Hammers
- Wire Cutters
COVID:
We follow CDC Guidelines and the Governor's state regulations.
If you are fully vaccinated, you do not need to wear your mask. If you have not been vaccinated, we ask that you wear your mask.
If you are not feeling well, have a fever, or have been exposed to COVID please stay home, and do not come and volunteer. We can always reschedule you!
