Sign up now for 2024 Master Composter Recycler Training!
If you are interested in composting and recycling, developing a sustainable future, and being part of a great community, consider becoming Certified Skagit County Master Composter Recycler.
The certification training, hosted by the Skagit County Solid Waste Division, provides participants with tools and knowledge to share back to the community as official waste reduction educators.
The 16-hour training explores backyard composting, vermicomposting, recycling, sustainable living, green cleaning, and more. The training includes six classroom sessions and two Saturday field trips. Participants receive a training notebook, and two free books on topics of waste reduction. Classes will run on Wednesday afternoons from 3:00 – 5:00pm starting February 28th through April 3rd.
Certified Master Composter Recyclers “pay back” their NO COST training by returning 24-hours of volunteer service as representatives of the program by tabling at events (such as fairs and farmers markets), growing redworms for compost workshops, maintaining compost demonstration sites, and sharing knowledge with neighbors and community groups.
