We're excited to invite you to our last volunteer event at the Hazelwood Food Recycling Site of the season! As a key part of our community, your involvement helps us make significant environmental and social impacts through our sustainable initiatives.
This October we will be highlighting compost sifting and garden preparation for winter. We will be emphasizing harvesting, weeding, and composting activities. We will be partnering with Local Composting Initiatives to enhance composting efforts.
This event will take place on October 19th from 10 am – 1 pm at 4501 Sylvan Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15207.
When you arrive, make sure to pull to the site closest to home rule street (at the end of Sylvan). You will see two large sheds, a bunch of compost bins and portable toilet to help identify the location. Make sure to bring closed toe shoes, long pants, and wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty! Insect repellent and sunscreen (if it’s sunny) are also recommended. We will have gloves available, but you’re also welcome to bring your own.
We will also have lunch available, but we encourage you to bring your own water!
By joining us at the Hazelwood site, you'll contribute directly to our mission of sustainability and witness first-hand the difference we're making.
