Master Composters and Recyclers are volunteer waste prevention specialists who are trained in partnership with WSU-Extension and Clallam County Department of Public Works.

The program highlights critical waste prevention activities with local solutions working with local haulers, governments and organizations to create best practices and educate community members.

Topics will include an introduction to the history and systems of waste and recycling; thoughtful consumerism; composting and food waste prevention; recycling right; and, reducing, repurposing, reusing and upcycling.

This program is supported by the Friends of the Library and is a partnership with the Clallam County Waste Prevention Program and WSU Extension.
