King County is looking for individuals to teach others to reduce waste and recycle more, pointing out that more than half of what goes to Cedar Hills Regional Landfill could be recycled.

Volunteer training in the 2013 Master Recycler Composter program would teach the do’s and don’ts of curbside recycling, including food scrap recycling, and then put training to work through volunteer outreach.

This free training is open to King County residents outside of Seattle only. Two options for training are available: in Renton, Thursday evenings from 6:30-9 p.m., April 25-May 16; or in Kent, Saturdays from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., May 4 and May 11.
