THE MASTER COMPOSTER/RECYCLER PROGRAM is offering volunteer training in composting, recycling and other waste reduction and sustainability techniques.
The Master Composter/Recycler Program invites Clark County residents to join others in the community with a passion for sustainability and become a Master Composter/Recycler.
Applications are being accepted for a free “learn and serve” volunteer training in composting, recycling, and other waste reduction and sustainability techniques. This comprehensive training will include backyard composting, vermicomposting, green cleaning, green building, recycling, and more.
Master Composter/Recycler volunteers help promote a healthy and sustainable community as waste reduction ambassadors. They contribute 30 hours of service over the course of the following year in exchange for the free training - sharing their skills and knowledge about sustainability. This community service can include tabling at community events, helping to host workshops, environmental education, administrative help, creative work, and helping to operate composting demonstration sites.
Training begins in early February and will occur Thursday evenings, Feb. 6 through April 10, from 6-8:30 p.m. at the Clark County Operations Division Conference Center, 4700 NE 78th Street, in Vancouver.
Space is limited and pre-registration is required. To download an application visit www.columbiasprings.org/mcr For more information call (360) 882-0936, ext. 224, or email mcr@columbiasprings.org.
