Event Description
September 22 to November 10.
Join fellow waste reduction enthusiasts and become an advocate for the three Rs in your community as a Master Recycler (and Composter!) in the Vancouver Lower Mainland.
Master Recyclers are trained on waste prevention, recycling and composting through an extensive eight week course featuring experts from industry and field trips to local waste processing and recycling facilities.
Once training is complete, participants are guided to spend 30 hours doing community outreach, such as staffing booths at events, designing and implementing waste reduction and recycling projects, and educating their neighbourhood or strata. When they have completed their 30 volunteer hours, participants become Certified Master Recyclers and are encouraged to continue their community outreach.
Drop in classes available.

Hi Hendrik, yes it is okay to miss up to two classes if you want to get the certificate, or you can do drop-in and come whenever fits your schedule.
Can you email hello@masterrecyclervancouver.ca to reserve your seat?

I am really interested in this course, but I have another engagement that evening also to do with recycling (Binners Project, Design Working Group). Can I RSVP for the course please and make up the first session somehow?
