KEEP HSV BEAUTIFUL TEAM LEADER RESPONSIBILITY SHEET

Please recruit a co-leader who can perform your duties if you are unavailable to lead an event. 

Inform your  members of our website:  keephsvbeautiful.org

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 ½ 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 them.) 

4)  Some volunteers take their bagged trash home,  If preferred, bags may be taken to an assigned dumpster (see locations below).  Some team leaders collect all the bags after the cleanup.  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. An early start time will 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, contact your members to record their results:: 1) # of volunteers, 2)  # filled bags (add partially filled bags  to total a filled bag).  3) # of hours spent picking up litter (travel time  should not be included).  In addition, the location of any heavy items (tires, construction  material, etc.),  or downed/damaged signs should be reported to me. so I canarrange for POA Sanitation to collect them.

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

Keep Arkansas Beautiful (KAB) provides supplies at no cost.  In return, the Project Coordinator is required to compile and submit a full report to KAB within 10 days of each event.  You will receive an email with instructions for reporting your team’s results.  Early reporting is appreciated. 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP
