Ryder Cup needs Recycling Volunteers

Recycling Volunteers Needed!

September 27^th – October 2^nd

The number of people on-site is expected to range from 40,000 and 50,000 people per day over the course of the 6 day event.  In an effort to promote a healthy environment and reduce the total volume of trash generated, PGA staff will be working with Carver County in implementing recycling and compostable organics collection at all key concession locations throughout the course.
