Master Recycler Training
Thurston County is seeking residents to help spread the word about the benefits of waste reduction, reuse and recycling. In exchange for 18 hours of free training, participants agree to spend 36 hours during the following year working as community volunteers. Master Recyclers can participate in a wide range of county waste reduction activities, or work in their own neighborhoods, schools, or workplaces to encourage waste reduction and recycling.
