Class Registration

The next training will be in September/October in Washington County.   

Course structure
The popular nine-week course includes two field trips and instruction in topics such as waste prevention, recycling processes, alternatives to hazardous household products, green building and composting.

Participant responsibilities
Participants agree to attend all class evenings and field trips. After completing the course, graduates put their skills to work to help others learn the three Rs: Reduce the amount of solid waste generated; Reuse material for the purpose for which it was intended; and Recycle material that cannot be reused. Master Recyclers volunteer to staff information booths at community events, provide presentations and work on special projects. Participants agree to volunteer at least 30 hours after completing the course.

Attendance at all classes and tours and an agreement to complete the 30 volunteer hours is required to be considered for the Master Recycler Certification.
