Eco Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo Recycling Committee

Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo season is about to start back up. Anyone excited? I started on the recycling committee last year and had a blast meeting new friends and working hard. You can read about a post I wrote about last year here. Below are some things that I found out last year I needed to have.

• DW40. Last year we randomly needed this for the trailers, so I will be bringing it back with me again this year. 
• Wet wipes. When recycling you are bound to get dirty at some point in your shift, so these are necessary. 
• Sunscreen. We are riding around the HLSR grounds throughout the day and it is always a good idea to wear sunscreen.
• Gloves. Like I said above you handle all kinds of dirty recycling, so gloves are a good idea.
• Snacks & Water. Sometimes we are out for long periods of time, so snacks and water are preferred for me.
• Pocket knife. To break down boxes.
• Small backpack. This is to put everything in. 
• Rodeo badge. Just in case you need it. Since I have the morning shift, I have it just in case I want to go to a show after or meet up with friends in certain areas of the rodeo.
