Are you passionate about the environment and eager to make a real difference? Join Go Eco in launching and operating a reusable wash trailer for local community events! This innovative zero-waste project is aimed at reducing single-use waste and supporting sustainable event practices across Waikato.

We’re looking for volunteers to help get this project off the ground, starting with a stocktake and deep clean of the trailer to prepare it for use.

Role Description:

  • Maintenance and Cleaning: Assist with washing and sterilizing to ensure the system runs smoothly.
  • Setup and Operation: Help set up the wash trailer at events, conduct a stocktake, and prepare the space for use.
  • Customer Engagement: Educate event-goers on the benefits of reusable systems and zero-waste practices.

Why Volunteer?

  • Make an Impact: Your efforts will help prevent waste, reduce pollution, and promote sustainability in our community.
  • Learn New Skills: Gain hands-on experience with event management, eco-friendly cleaning, and reusable systems.
  • Connect with Like-minded People: Join a dedicated team passionate about a zero-waste future.

The Importance of Reusable Systems: Transitioning to reusable packaging helps reduce waste, plastic pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. As Waikato and New Zealand move towards a low-waste, circular economy, your contribution will help make this vision a reality.

If you’re excited about sustainability and want to help create a greener community, we’d love to have you on board. Join Go Eco in leading the way to a zero-waste future, one clean plate at a time!
