ECO AmeriCorps-Community Zero Waste Assistant

A significant role for the ECO AmeriCorps member will be to collaborate in developing CVSWMD's regional infrastructure, including improved hazardous waste collections, facility development, expanded services for both central core and rural areas for hard-to-recycle materials, and improved systems for meeting Act 148 requirements. The primary focus for the Community Zero Waste Assistant will be to gather input and communicate - either as a team member or alone -- with community stakeholders including members of the public, municipal employees, local officials, and potential partners to learn about local needs. In addition, the Community Zero Waste Assistant will help prepare information for planning and dissemination purposes. EXPAND ZERO WASTE EVENTS -There are numerous large public venues in central Vermont that currently do not utilize a zero-waste approach. ECO organizers will provide training and tools so event organizers are ready to compost, recycle, and reduce waste at their events going forward. CVSWMD's current ECO AmeriCorps member is assisting with several events this year. REPAIR CAFÉ TOOLKIT - Repair Cafés are free community events where participants can bring broken items to be fixed for free by a volunteer repair person. Our goal is for the 2019-2020 ECO AmeriCorps member to serve with at least two additional community groups with their repair cafés and to provide the “how-to” kit to any person or entity that wishes to hold such an event on their own. SPECIAL OUTREACH PROJECTS - On occasion, CVSWMD hosts special recycling events, such as an annual E-Cycles recycling day. This also includes special events through the MSP grant program, for instance, bulky waste collections. The ECO AmeriCorps member may be asked to serve at and participate in in running those events.
