Participants who complete the training become certified Composter Recyclers
VANCOUVER – Clark County’s Composter Recycler program is accepting applications for a no-cost seven-course training program. Participants who complete the training become certified Composter Recyclers and join a group of environmental advocates who want to learn about low-waste living and share sustainability information with the community.
The training prepares participants to take steps to reduce food waste, replace chemical products with do-it-yourself green cleaners, and collect contaminant-free recyclables at home. Certified Composter Recyclers will then share what they learn with the community through volunteer community service hours.
As part of the training, participants receive a compost bin and a green cleaning kit. The classes begin in January and will be held in person 6:30-8 p.m. Wednesdays.
Here are the 2024 training dates and topics:
- Jan. 31: Prevent Food Waste
- Feb. 7: Backyard Composting
- Feb. 21: Worm Bin Composting
- Feb. 28: Lasagna Garden Composting
- March 6: Green Cleaning
- March 13: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
- March 20: Sustainability Ambassador Orientation
Tours of the transfer station and on-site composting field training are also included in the training, with dates to be determined. To register for the training, visit the Composter Recycler website. Participants will receive a confirmation email after applications are reviewed. Class size is limited to 30 participants.
The Composter Recycler program educates the community about easy ways to reduce waste, increase recycling and rethink our impact on natural resources. For more information about the program call (564) 397-7333 or email info@clarkcountycomposts.org.
