ORGANIZATIONAL RELATIONSHIP

The Zero-Waste Sorter reports to the Zero-Waste Manager.

SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES AND OBJECTIVES

• Remove trash, recyclables, and compost from all areas of the stadium and site perimeter.

• The collection team gradually transports Arena waste to the sorting area as they make their rounds. Typically, there will be a consistent stream of trash bags to sort throughout the assigned shift.

• The sorting team must open every item within every trash bag before separating waste items into the various streams. Fans tend to consolidate all their trash into a bag or a box.

• Each shift is responsible for completing a mandatory checklist before team members leave.
