Human Eco has been awarded a three-year federal contract with the U.S Forest Service to set up recycling programs for wildfire incident response camps on the West Coast (including but not limited to WA, OR, and CA). This job will be working within a team of energetic and motivated individuals to implement and monitor recycling operations for firefighters and incident command at wildland fire base and spike camps.
The goal of the recycling program is to achieve a minimum 30% diversion rate through the collection, sorting, and hauling of recyclable materials. The team will be responsible for sorting out recyclables such as paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, and aluminum cans from the waste stream and delivering those recyclables to local recycling centers. We also focus on education and training as they are integral to the program and engagement from firefighters increases our diversion rates. Employees will be in direct quarters with firefighters learning and observing the logistics of fire camp management.
Past employees have found this job to be a good fit when seeking a seasonal, on-call position that allows them the flexibility to take on other part-time positions or travel whilst having the option to go to fires on their own accord. This position is also a tangible way to make a difference in the face of the ever-overwhelming climate crisis. We are all responsible for being a part of the solution!
NOTE: When called to deploy, you must be able to respond to Human Eco team lead with availability within 2-3 hours and arrive at the scene of the incident within 36 hours. This is an on-call/seasonal job only, no set hours or guaranteed work. You do not have to say yes to a fire call and it won't be held against you if you decline, but the more availability and experience you have will increase your involvement.
