Throughout the years, volunteers have made a significant contribution to our program. Volunteers have helped design our website, assisted with outreach and record keeping of the Cambridge business community and assisted with our recycling participation projects. In fact, volunteers started the Cambridge Recycling Program by staffing the Recycling Drop-Off Center! People like you have made a huge impact on our program, just think what you can do!
