Bin Captain Responsibilities Guide
Thank you for helping keep York greener! This program only works because of dedicated volunteers like you. The role is flexible, a few hours per month, and makes a lasting impact on our community.
Main Responsibilities
Member Orientation: Host 1–2 short orientation sessions during the warmer months (March/April – October) to welcome new members and review composting guidelines.
Answer Questions: Respond to member emails or messages about the composting process, troubleshooting, or general program info.
Site Check-Ins: Visit the compost site periodically to make sure:
The bins are in good condition.
There are enough “browns” (carbon-rich materials like leaves or wood chips) in Bin 3 to balance food scraps.
The area stays neat and welcoming.
Additional Notes
Commitment is only a few hours per month.
You don’t need prior composting expertise — just a willingness to learn and stay consistent.
Orientation templates and resources will be provided.
