Summary
Perpetual Plastics is a plastic recycling social workspace, under the EPIC Foundation, where volunteers help with various steps along the way.Detailed description
At Perpetual Plastics we recycle plastic types 2 & 5 with the help of persons with a distance to the traditional labour market.
There are many varying tasks involved and persons can partake in different roles. Tasks include: collecting, weighing, sorting, prepping, washing, cutting and shredding plastics. Once the plastics have been melted & moulded, other tasks include: putting items together, such as keychains, bracelets, necklaces, etc. For the packaging, we also recycle paper for our own labels, therefore there are also tasks such as: paper making, and label making. Other packaging tasks also include creating gift bags or gift sets, such as: sewing scrap cloth to make gift bags, etc.
Our current opening days & hours (volunteer days and times are flexible within these timeframes):
Tuesday & Friday 8am - 4pm
Saturday 9am - 12pm
We are looking for persons whom have a few hours every so often, preferably more regularly, to come help out! This is also open to students who need to acquire their community service hours and/or internships.
