Volunteer Opportunities
The City offers several Environmentally-related opportunities to volunteer, as indicated below.
Electronics Recycling Event
 MANY, MANY, MANY volunteers are needed to help unload cars and direct traffic for our semi-annual Electronics Recycling Events held at the Lee's Summit High School. Not only will you aid in keeping harmful components from entering our landfills, you will get a little bit of a work out and meet other great volunteers in our community! Lunch is provided and non-court-ordered community service hours are available.

Lunch is provided and non-court-ordered community service hours are available.
