The course also includes one compost workshop and two multi-site tours scheduled on Saturday mornings. Class presenters and tour guides are local experts and innovators in solid waste management, waste-based businesses, waste prevention, recycling, and composting.

“As an avid recycler before I took the class, I was amazed at how much I learned,” says Susy Lacer, Master Recycler volunteer. “This course is both informative and fun.”

The Master Recycler class is free to participants and the program requires a commitment of 30 volunteer hours after. Individuals who do not wish to complete 30 hours of volunteer work will be charged a $50 fee to cover class time and materials.
