To reduce the overall amount of material that is disposed through the implementation of innovative waste reduction and recycling services - at county facilities and communities.

King County’s Master Recycler Composter (MRC) program is an adult education program that provides free training about waste reduction, recycling, solid waste impacts on climate change and public outreach. Education efforts such as the MRC program play an important role in helping citizens reduce waste.

The MRC program training is open to all King County residents living outside the City of Seattle. In exchange for the free training, program graduates are expected to volunteer 25 hours for public outreach opportunities planned by county staff. We are looking for outgoing, engaging individuals who want to inspire others to reduce waste and recycle more.
