MRC providing Recycle More outreach at Issaquah Salmon Days.

King County’s Master Recycler Composter (MRC) program is an adult education program that provides free training about waste reduction, recycling, solid waste impacts on climate change and public outreach. Education efforts such as the MRC program play an important role in helping citizens reduce waste.

The MRC program training is open to all King County residents living outside the City of Seattle. In exchange for the free training, program graduates are expected to volunteer 25 hours for public outreach opportunities planned by county staff. We are looking for outgoing, engaging individuals who want to inspire others to reduce waste and recycle more.

Training

The 2013 MRC training will be held in Kent on two Saturdays, June 1 and 8, 2013 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Kent Senior Activity Center, 600 E. Smith St., Kent, WA 98030.  Training sessions previously scheduled for Kent and Renton have been cancelled.

Applications are due May 30, 2013!

All prospective MRC program participants must complete an application (PDF, 280 K). Acceptance as a participant in the MRC program is based on the applicant’s demonstrated interest, availability and potential for success as a King County volunteer. Program participants will be required to read and sign the MRC Program Participation Agreement (Microsoft Word® Document, 29 K) during the training.

People with disabilities are encouraged to apply. The training sites are wheelchair accessible and reasonable accommodations are available upon request. Please provide two weeks’ notice prior to the training if a sign language interpreter is needed.
