Master Recyclers are trained volunteers who work with the community to help spread the word about the benefits of waste reduction, reuse and recycling. Participants receive 18 hours of free training. In return, they agree to spend 30 hours during the following year working as community volunteers. 

Master Recyclers can participate in a wide range of activities, including staffing booths and displays at community events, helping with office projects, and doing story times at local libraries. Master Recyclers may also work in their own neighborhoods, schools or offices to encourage waste reduction and recycling.
