We’re Looking for Butt Blitz Coordinators Across Ontario
Did you know one million cigarette butts are littered in the City of Toronto daily? The Butt Blitz is a one-day event that focuses on cigarette butt cleanup, recycling, and litter prevention. The goal of the event is to remove as much cigarette butt litter from our streets as possible during a one day Butt Blitz event, and send the butts to TerraCycle Canada for recycling. We also hope to raise awareness of the negative impacts that cigarette butt litter has on ecosystems and health. Last year we picked up over 239,000 butts on event day!
We are looking for volunteer coordinators in Ontario.
Responsibilities include:
Attending an online training session in March 2019
Choosing a central location for participants to meet you on the date of the event, April 27, 2019
Recruiting participants from your neighbourhood to take part in the event
Giving instructions and supplies (provided by us) to participants at the event
Bringing the collected butts to a designated location or shipping them out (shipping label provided)
Speaking with media about the event should the possibility arise
You will receive a coordinator information package with all the materials and information needed for the event. For more information and previous year's results please visit our Butt Blitz Page. To apply please fill out the form below. All applicants must be 19 years or older.
