Volunteer for spring campus cleanup

The Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling and the Facilities Management Grounds Department will coordinate a campus-wide cleanup from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Wednesday, April 15. Also, volunteers can help with a tree planting from 10 a.m. to noon.

The EARTH Club and Charlotte Green Initiative are organizing student volunteers, and Chancellor Philip L. Dubois has authorized 90 minutes of release time for all faculty and staff members who are interested in joining in this effort. Participation must be approved by supervisors based upon the office/department/unit needs.

On the day of the event, participants should meet at the Belk Tower or the Motorsports Building. (Note, individuals who register for the tree planting will be send separate directions and meeting location.) Volunteers will sign in to receive an assigned area and “litter cleanup” supplies (maps, bags, pickup sticks and gloves).

Anyone interested in helping with the cleanup or tree planting should email Devin Hatley, environmental educator, at dlhatley@uncc.edu.
