This job will be working within a team of energetic motivated individuals to implement and monitor recycling efforts for firefighters and incident command at wildland fire base\/spike camps.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the recycling program is to achieve a minimum 40% diversion rate through collection and hauling of materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, aluminum and pallets. The team will be responsible for sorting out recyclables from the waste stream, self- hauling those recyclables, and gathering rebates for materials sold. Additionally, a large component to achieving 40% diversion is engagement from firefighters on sorting wastes. Education and training are integral to this program and can be a rewarding but challenging task for Human Eco team members.<\/p>\n<p>Employees will be in direct quarters with fire fighters learning and observing the logistics to fire camp management. Those seeking experience in waste management and logistics may have the opportunity to work within a logistics team to develop and implement recycling plans and education.
