Isles, Saturday, April 17: Information for Volunteers

Saturday, April 17, 10:00-4:00

Isles has obtained another building on its Johnston Avenue site and is converting it to a new home for TerraCycle. PA3 volunteers will once again have a chance to tear down an interior and do some renovation. Weather permitting, we’ll also be doing prep work on the outside walls; the TerraCycle folks plan to decorate the building’s exterior with graffiti (“urban art”), as they’ve done at their New York Avenue site (pictures here).

Friends and family members (ages 10 and up) are welcome. No experience required.

To sign up, please email Arlen Hastings.

Waiver Forms: Available here. Please print, complete, sign, and bring with you. Repeat volunteers need provide only name, date and signature. (Extra forms will be provided at the site if you forget.)

Lunch: Bring your own, or bring $6 per person for pizza; exact change appreciated.

Isles will provide: Coffee, drinking water, and indoor plumbing; all necessary tools and equipment.

Dress code: Long pants, sturdy shoes, something orange or otherwise Princetonian, and your PA3 cap if you have one. New volunteers will be given PA3 caps.

Directions from Princeton: Proceed south on Route 1 to the Whitehead Road exit. Take that exit; it crosses Route 1, so you’ll end up heading east. Stay to the right as you come off the exit; you will be on Whitehead Road. After about one mile, the name of the road changes to East State Street. Continue 0.3 mile on East State; then turn right onto Johnston Avenue. You will see a large, red brick building ahead on the left. Turn left onto Roberts Street (at the corner of the property) and then right into the parking lot. (Street address is One Johnston Avenue, Trenton NJ 08609.)
