The annual Greenville Ave. St. Patrick’s Day Parade is one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day parades in the country (~100K people, 100+ floats).  This iconic Dallas event creates lots of recyclable waste AND opportunity for fun!

This will be our 5th year (!!) to help make St Patrick's Day in Dallas even greener!  We've collected over one ton of materials in that time and are seeking volunteers to join the 2012 Parade Recycling Team to help divert as many recyclables as possible from the landfill!

Volunteers can collect recycling from parade viewers, stroll along with our entry to promote conservation and witness the excitement of the parade from inside the barricades.  Volunteers will receive nifty green t-shirts, day of event sponsor gifts (drink vouchers, working on concert tix, etc.) and a memory of a lifetime.

Day-of-event details are available in the PDF attached to the Eventbrite confirmation email.
