Austin Resource Recovery Job

The city of Austin has 2 openings for Program Event Leaders (helping out with the city’s compost classes). It’s very part-time (maybe 20 hours per month), and it only pays about $12 – 15 per hour. Still, it can be fun and it’s a great way to meet folks interested in zero waste.
You can go to the city’s job site https://www.austincityjobs.org/
and then go to “Search Jobs” and then where it says department, type in Austin Resource Recovery. The job just got posted today and it’s open til April 10th.
