Master Recycler 2010
Do you want to: learn how to reduce waste? conserve natural
resources? motivate others to change their habits? make a difference
in your community? You can get the formal training you need to do all
this and more by becoming a Master Recycler...an opportunity from the
TriCounty Hazardous Waste & Recycling Program serving Wasco, Sherman
and Hood River counties. Similar to the OSU Extension Service's
popular Master Gardener program, participants will attend a series of
classes and field trips, and be required to volunteer at least 30
"payback" hours in their communities. The mission of the Master
Recycler program is to "bridge the gap between awareness and action by
motivating people to reduce solid waste in homes and workplaces."
The classes are offered free of charge to residents of Wasco, Sherman
and Hood River counties. The Master Recycler class is limited to 30
participants, with acceptance on a "first come first serve" basis.
The Spring 2010 Master Recycler class will be held Tuesday evenings
during March and April at the Mosier Creek Terrace in Mosier. For
more information, call Cindy Brown of the TriCounty program at
541-506-2636 or visitn www.tricountyrecycle.com and click on "Master
Recycler". Applications are taken on-line.
Please spread the word to anyone you know who might be interested in
achieving their New Year's resolutions for a greener lifestyle!
