Guide to Recycling Green Teams at Sports Venues

According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, "Developing a team of recycling volunteers is an effective way to enhance your sports facility’s environmental profile while helping your housekeeping staff collect plastics and other recyclables. It can also be a great opportunity to involve environmentally oriented sponsors who might want to co-brand the program. A Recycling Green Team is a group of preselected volunteers who collect recyclables and promote your organization’s commitment to the environment through direct engagement with fans on game day.
