Time to Become a Master

Clark County Master Composter/Recycler Training Offered.

Join your fellow community members in making a difference in Clark County, become a Master Composter Recycler and help create a greener future! Registration is open for applicants for 2012 training program! Master Composter/Recycler Volunteer training provides community members with basic tools and knowledge which reduce household waste, lessen greenhouse gasses, and create healthy soils.

Master Composter/Recyclers attend a ten-session course that explores waste reduction topics such as: backyard composting, vermicomposting, recycling, greener consumer choices, green-building, interpretive techniques, and more. They then share what they have learned about waste reduction, composting and recycling with the Clark County Community.

Master Composter/Recyclers (MCR) Volunteers “payback” their training by helping to represent the MCR Program at community events such as fairs, celebrations and farmer’s markets; helping to host workshops and lectures; assisting with developing educational resources; or perhaps growing redworms for workshops, maintaining composting demonstration sites; or helping with administrative tasks.

The next course begins the first week of February 2012 and is now accepting applications. Training will occur Thursday evenings, but there will also be  a Saturday hot compost pile building activity and a Saturday field trip. Download your application here.
