Recycling Centers collect and reuse materials in an effort to help reduce waste. This business handles all of the recycling needs in JA BizTown, and some of our retail products are created from recycled materials.
I am responsible for all of the business operations and do my best to encourage our employees to work hard at their jobs. I help determine the prices of our products and sign the rental agreement and business checks. I also give a speech at the Town Meeting.
As second in command, I spend most of my time working on a computer to help process the payroll checks for employees. I pay all of the business expenses and make deposits to the bank. I am very busy throughout the day and have A LOT of paper work on my desk. It is important for me to be organized.
It is important for me to visit the various businesses in JA BizTown because I must talk with each CEO about our recycling standards and collect payments. I also conduct recycling surveys and collect specific recycled materials from each business to be sorted into recycle bins at a later time.
Helping to decide the prices of our products is one of my main responsibilities. I also decorate our display board to help draw customers to our business and manage the inventory of our products to make sure all JA BizTown citizens have an opportunity to purchase them. I operate the sales computer and greet and assist customers as they enter our business.
I purchase the supplies for our business from the Delivery and Supply Center and verify that the items received match the inventory sheet. I am responsible for assembling products to prepare for sale and work hard to offer good customer service throughout the day.
