Master Recyclers (Bilingual) - Steward Program
On Friday, June 6, 14 members of the Latino community graduated as members of Master Recycler Class 73. They are the first all-Spanish Master Recycler class in the county and in the region. The class was a collaboration among Washington County Solid Waste & Recycling, the Master Recycler Program and Centro Cultural de Washington County, which combined resources, experience and community relationships to make this a success. The Master Recycler Program focuses on providing education and outreach focused on sustainable consumption, waste prevention, toxics, composting and recycling.
