This volunteer will support the Fresh Produce Program by being responsible for picking up compost at the end of Saturday's distribution (between 10-10:30am) and bringing it to the Duke Gardens. The commitment will be approximately 1 hour.
It is critical that the driver has a pickup truck/van/car that is large enough to fit the week's compost – approximately three 27-gallon bins and/or trash bags with additional compost. A tarp will be provided to keep your vehicle clean. A cart will be provided to assist with transporting the compost once at the gardens. The bins, tarp, and cart will then need to be returned to the General Store from pickup.
We highly encourage volunteers in this role to be physically able and/or to bring a friend along, as the compost bins can be heavy (~25-70 lbs each). If you are interested in this position, please read this document that outlines the roles and responsibilities of the compost volunteer in more detail. If you have any questions, please contact Spencer Hao (spencer.hao@duke.edu, 415-608-6567).
