But volunteers at the Garbage Museum get to do cool stuff

The Garbage Museum in Stratford and the Trash Museum in Hartford are seeking help.
Operated by the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority, both facilities are looking for volunteers to help with their education programs, CRRA said in a statement.
The museums "teach more than 50,000 children and adults each year about recycling, conservation of energy and natural resources, environmental responsibility and the impact that routine choices can have on the planet," the statement said.
Volunteers’ duties would include greeting and assisting visitors, answering telephones, preparation of program materials and other tasks as needed, the statement said.
Volunteers could eventually be trained to lead tours and educational programs, the statement said.
“Experience is not required to volunteer at the Trash Museum or the Garbage Museum,” Sotoria Montanari, CRRA education supervisor, said in the statement. “We only require our volunteers be dependable, responsible, personable and enthusiastic.”
Volunteers must be 16 or older.
Anyone interested in volunteering can call the Trash Museum at 860-757-7765 or the Garbage Museum at 203-381-9571.

The Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority "is a quasi-public agency whose mission is to work for and in the best interests of the municipalities of the state of Connecticut," the statement said.
