Clark County’s Composter Recycler program is offering a free, seven-week training series. The training will prepare new volunteers to be sustainability ambassadors in the community and experts in composting techniques, recycling, food-waste reduction, green cleaning and other sustainable living habits.
To apply to be a Composter Recycler volunteer, visit the Composter Recycler website. Applicants will be contacted by email to confirm participation.
The virtual classes will be held via Zoom and are scheduled for 7-8:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, beginning in February. In addition to the virtual classes, the training will include two in-person events — a tour of a transfer station and a hands-on composting field training — and weekly actionable homework assignments so volunteers can move toward a low-waste lifestyle.
The training dates and topics are: Feb. 1: backyard composting; Feb. 8: red worm composting; Feb. 15: other composting techniques; Feb. 22: composting science; March 1: low-waste living/green cleaning; March 8: recycling done right and March 15: tips, tricks and techniques to prevent food waste.
