Looking to fundraise for your student organization? You’re in luck! Sustain Coastal is offering paid volunteering opportunities for student organizations during the Fall 2026 Football season! 🏈✨

We are recruiting student volunteers to work alongside our staff the day after each Zero Waste Football game and sort the waste generated during the game. The goal of this effort is to divert as much waste from the landfill as possible through recycling and composting. We are currently accepting volunteers for the following shifts:

🏈 Sort 1: Sunday, Sept. 13 (8:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.)
♻️ Sort 2: Friday, Sept. 25 (8:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.)
🏈 Sort 3: Sunday, Oct. 4 (8:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.)
♻️ Sort 4: Saturday, Oct. 17 (8:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.)

At the beginning of each school year, all Sustain Coastal staff members go on a retreat to our local landfill and Materials Recycling Facility (MRF). We believe it’s important to remind ourselves of where all of our waste goes.

It truly is eye opening to see large mountains of items that could be reused and recycled. With your help, we can continue to divert as much waste from our landfill as possible and make our community a more sustainable place. ♻️✨

Thank you to the Horry County Solid Waste Authority for the epic tour and opportunity to explore the significance of our work! 💚
