Volunteers Needed For Gameday Recycling

Volunteers are needed to assist with "Go Green for Big Red," a collaborative gameday recycling effort conducted by the City of Lincoln Recycling Office, UNL Recycling Services and AmeriCorps.

Volunteers walk designated parking lots in pairs before Nebraska home football games distributing plastic recycling bags and encouraging fans to recycle empty cups, cans and bottles. Volunteers collect the bags after kickoff.

Volunteers will meet at 5 p.m. Saturday prior to the Nebraska-Kansas game on the west side of the Sheldon Art Museum to get their assignments. Runza and Pepsi will provide dinner for all volunteers at 5 p.m.

For more information, contact Linda Stevenson at 441-8004 or lstevenson@lincoln.ne.gov.
