The North Yorkshire Rotters promote home composting, recycling, and a 'love food hate waste' campaign at events, talks and school workshops throughout North Yorkshire. The campaigns are promoted to highlight the practical ways that residents can reduce waste and help the environment. The Rotters are volunteers who actively inspire residents to reduce, reuse and recycle by giving information, advice, talks and practical waste prevention workshops.
How you can help
The North Yorkshire Rotters help inspire people to change their waste habits by giving talks and running activities at events, shows and schools across North Yorkshire. By sharing information about waste prevention you’ll be helping us to reduce the seven million tonnes of food and drink waste thrown away from UK homes every year.
The benefits to you
You will be giving back to your community by helping people to save money and reduce waste. You can easily fit this role around the rest of your life, in fact many members of the team volunteer elsewhere and a third combine being a rotter with paid employment.
The activities provide the opportunity to meet other volunteers and enjoy the social aspect of being part of a helpful and friendly team, whilst also using existing skills and learning new ones. You can gain practical experience in the environmental sector, and volunteering looks great on your CV!
All volunteers receive a uniform and we pay out of pocket expenses.
