UM's Recycling Team is looking for motivated, hard-working, and self-directed students to join our team. Applicants for this position will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until a suitable candidate is found. 

If you want to contribute to one of the most visible sustainability issues on campus, this is the job you are looking for! The work is not always glamorous (recycling generally isn't), but you will be making a significant contribution to UM's efforts to become a more sustainable, less wasteful campus community. We offer flexible hours and meaningful work in the important field of recycling and sustainability.

Primary tasks include working with other members of our team to collect and consolidate recyclable material from around campus (inside buildings and at the outside collection stations), doing some peer education about recycling, and responding to requests from campus departments for additional bins, extra pickup service, etc. It's a physical job; you must be able to lift at least 30 lbs and safely drive one of our recycling pickup trucks around campus. The work entails lifting, moving boxes, bins, and bags, and spending time outdoors. 

If you have any questions about the position please contact UM's Recycling Coordinator at jim.lyon@mso.umt.edu
