Snohomish County WSU Waste Warrior Volunteer Training

You care about the environment. You want to make a difference. You may already recycle, you want to know more and be sure your efforts are contributing to a healthy environment. This eight hour training will feature expert presenters detailing why things can and can’t be recycled, where recycling goes, and how to further reduce current waste. Tour a local recycling center and see exactly how the process is managed.
Sample workshop topics include: (Agenda is subject to change)
• Intro to Waste/Materials Management 101
• Recycling Myths and Facts/Do’s and Don’ts
• Recycling Beyond the Curb
• Household Hazardous Waste Disposal
• Commercial Composting Systems
• Reducing Food Waste
• Outreach Communication Tips
Following the training you are asked to give 20 hours of your new knowledge to community members at festivals and events in Snohomish County. You’ll be sharing your insights about recycling right, keeping compost free of plastics, why only some plastics are recyclable, and how to sort waste correctly.
Mondays starting April 22nd and ending after May 20th, 6-8:30PM (4/22, 4/29, 5/6, 5/13, and 5/20) with tour dates TBA.
