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.

Eco Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo

Anyone super excited for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR)?! I am on the recycling committee and wanted to point out an eco feature about this big event that happens every year in Houston. This committee was referred to me by a colleague and I was super excited when she told me about it because anything eco and green is right up my ally. HLSR is more eco than I thought because they recycle a TON of things so they do not end up in landfills. This is something that many do not realize and is something that HLSR is committed to doing in helping raise money for scholarships, for the environment and for Houston.

Last week I worked the World Championship Barbecue Cookoff at HLSR and we went around and gathered cardboard from all the tents and then took them to the compactor. HLSR gets money for everything that is recycled and the money goes towards scholarships for the kids. The more we recycle the more money goes back to the kids. It's a win, win all around.
