Waste Warriors at Durham Central Park Food Truck Rodeo

  • Durham Central Park 501 Foster Street Durham, NC, 27701 United States (map)

Durham Central Park's Spring Food Truck Rodeo is coming up on Sunday March 20th, from 12-4pm, and they need WASTE WARRIORS to help attendees correctly dispose of their trash. Join for a shift and help divert compostables and recyclables from the landfill. Volunteers get Food Truck Vouchers to spend at their favorite trucks, and the joy of helping Durham Central Park events clean and green.

Can you join for one (or more) of the following shifts?

  • 12:00pm-2:00pm

  • 2:00pm-4:00pm

Please send an email to bryce@durhamcentralpark.org with your preferred shift and you will be added to the list.
