Jazzoo Zero-Waste Volunteer Nov 2nd

Event Chair: Restore Our Shores

DETAILS:

A number of bowls full of food

Our upcoming Jazzoo event has a zero waste goal each year. The event hosts more than 1,600 attendees and 30+ food and beverage vendors. Nearly all waste from the event is compostable and recyclable, including everything in the hands of guests that night! Supplying compostable plates, cutlery, and cups eliminates the use of more than 75,000 plastic serviceware items. Through composting and recycling, over two tons of waste is diverted from the landfill for this event. 

This year, we'll have waste stations throughout the zoo to direct all waste there and we'll sort trash, recycling, and compostables during the event. There won't be any trash cans around, so in order to make this work, we need an army of volunteers to help get the waste our way. Volunteers will be walking through crowds with bus tubs, collecting leftovers from guests while thanking for them for participating in our zero-waste efforts, collecting waste from the restaurant vendors and bars in their assigned areas and bringing it to the waste stations where an employee will sort the items. 
 
Jazzoo is Saturday Nov 2, from 7pm - 11pm (VIPs get entrance at 6pm), so for volunteers we ask that they arrive around 5pm so we can get suited up, assigned areas, and get everyone on the same page. As the event starts to wind down, volunteers can leave if they wish. Dinner, aprons, and gloves will be provided. And besides being on your feet for several hours, it really is a fun event. Everyone will need to park in the Walmart parking lot and we have shuttles going at regular intervals to get everyone back and forth to the zoo. 

If you or anyone you know is willing to help, we can use as many hands as possible.  

LOCATION:  Brevard Zoo Entrance. Arrive at the Walmart parking lot prior to 5 and shuttle over to meet Alyssa at 5 pm.
