Upcoming Events, Trainings, and Volunteer Opportunities 

Table with Eco-Cycle at the Rock & Reuse Summer Concert Series!

Resource Central, Eco-Cycle’s Zero Waste partner and next-door neighbor, is having a summer concert series! We are looking for volunteers to help us table at these events. Volunteers will be accompanied by an Eco-Cycle staffer and will help distribute resources and talk to community members.

Rock & Reuse Concert Series
Five Saturdays from May through August
10 am–1 pm
Materials Reuse Facility at Resource Central (co-located with CHaRM at 6400 Arapahoe Rd, Boulder)


Boulder Volunteer Opportunity: Be a volunteer CHaRM lane attendant!

At the Eco-Cycle Center for Hard-to-Recycle Materials (CHaRM) in Boulder, volunteers are essential. Learn how you can engage recycling customers about Zero Waste and related environmental issues, and help prevent “contamination” (non-recyclable items) from being mistakenly dropped off. 

If you’ve already attended a Saturday orientation, sign up here for your next shift! Please email [email protected] with any questions.

NEW CHARM LANE VOLUNTEERS: Please sign up for a Saturday orientation BEFORE signing up for a volunteer slot! Once you have attended an orientation and received volunteer training, we gratefully welcome you to sign up for any of the volunteer slots that fit your schedule. Training is offered the first Saturday of most months. The next training is August 2, 2025, from 10:00 am–12:00 pm. 


Volunteer at the U-Fix-It Clinic

Help check folks in at the clinic, and match them with their volunteer coach. If you have repair skills, you can also sign up as a volunteer coach! Please email [email protected] for more info.
