KEEP HSV BEAUTIFUL TEAM LEADER RESPONSIBILITY SHEET

Each team leader needs a co-leader who can perform the duties in the absence of the team leader.

Prior to cleanup events:

1) Notify your team members of the designated cleanup date a month in advance and secure their commitments. If possible, assign a driver to drive the route while members are cleaning their sections in case help is needed.

2) Assign each member a section of road to clean (usually 1⁄2 mile increments).

3) Make sure your team has adequate supplies bags/vests/gloves needed for Cleanup. These supplies are distributed at the annual Team Leader Meeting, which all team leaders and co-leaders are asked to attend. (Volunteers need to provide their own grabber tool, unless the organization provides).

4) Some volunteers take their bagged trash home, If preferred, bags may be taken to an assigned dumpster (see locations below). No bags should be left on the road.

West Side - Parking lot at the outdoor pool on DeSoto Blvd.

Central - Parking lot at Coronado Community Center, past tennis courts.

East Side - Entrance to Balboa Beach, just off Ponce.

On the day of clean up: 

Cleanup events are all held on Saturdays. If there is a probable chance of rain or a reason the team (or a member) needs to clean on another day, please try to schedule a day during the week prior to the Saturday event and notify the Cleanup Project Coordinator (Contact information below).

It is suggested that volunteers walk facing traffic and an early start time is chosen to avoid heavy traffic. Most teams are on the road by 8am. Give all of your team members your contact information. After their section is cleaned, each volunteer should report their results to you: 

1) # of filled bags (add partially filled bags to total a filled bag). Some volunteers collect aluminum cans for the animal shelter. 

2) # of hours spent picking up litter (not including travel time).

3) Any heavy items left behind and their location (tires, construction material, etc.)

Collect unused bags and vests and retain for the next clean up day. Note – if the same volunteers participate in most events, encourage them to keep their vests and gloves for the next event. Both can be laundered if needed. If driver alert signs have been used, remove them and store for future events.

Keep Arkansas Beautiful provides our supplies at no cost. In return, a total results report for all teams must be submitted within 10 days of each cleanup event.

The Cleanup Project Coordinator will email a request for each team’s total results after each event, combine all results, and submit the report to Keep Arkansas Beautiful. Early reporting is appreciated.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP
