Email: kmajor@spokanecity.org

Volunteer Master Composters and Recyclers play an active role in Spokane County’s Regional Solid Waste System by teaching citizens how to reduce waste through home composting and recycling. Becoming a Master Composter is easy as 1-2-3:

  1. New volunteers attend Master Composter/Recycler spring training sessions and receive a free compost bin, reference books, and instructional materials.
  2. after their training, Master Composters and Recyclers are asked to contribute 40 hours of volunteer service to help inform and encourage others.
  3. Master Composter and Recycler graduates share their enthusiasm at community gatherings, compost fairs, schools, clubs, etc. by interacting with the public, giving presentations, or working behind the scenes.

This successful Master Composter and Recycler Program has been in effect since 1988. Every year the list of volunteers completing the program continues to grow and community outreach increases. For more information and to learn about signing up for the next class, email or call Kris Major at 509-625-6521
