The Tamfourhill Tenants and Residents Organisation (TTRO) is looking for volunteers to help with a new project, aiming to support people who don’t have access to the recycling centre due to accessibility barriers (such as lack of access to a car).

A team of volunteers will visit houses which have booked a collection, pick up waste, transport it onto e-cargo bikes and then load up a van which will be driven to the recycling centre.

By doing so, the project aims to not only keep the area cleaner in terms of waste, but also reduce emissions by limiting car trips to the recycling centre, and promote cargo bikes as a travel option. Volunteers are needed in 2 roles:

Collection Volunteers to travel around residential areas on foot or bike, to collect bagged and unwanted rubbish from residents who have pre-booked a collection.
E-Cargo Bikers to cycle the cargo to a nearby van for offloading.

To get involved with this opportunity, please contact Babs McCool by phone: 07746 073782, or email: babs.mccool6889@gmail.com
