Master Composter Recycler Volunteer Program
Welcome to the Skagit County Master Composter Recycler Training Program. Hosted by the Skagit County Solid Waste Division, this no-cost certification training prepares community members to become knowledgeable waste reduction educators, with a focus on composting, recycling, and sustainable living. The program includes over 20 hours of instruction covering topics such as backyard and vermicomposting, waste reduction, green cleaning, and more, along with hands-on learning opportunities and field experiences. Certified Master Composter Recyclers give back to the community through volunteer service, sharing what they’ve learned at events, demonstration sites, and within their own neighborhoods. This page is designed for accepted applicants to access weekly training resources and materials as part of their official volunteer training.
