What is a Master Recycler?

Master Recyclers take an eight-week course on the latest information on waste prevention and recycling.  They then share this information to their neighbors in Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington county. There are more than 940 Master Recyclers, volunteering more than 20,000 hours. 

The next round of classes is in April and May in Multnomah County. See Class Registration for details.  Contact us
