Master Recyclers seeking volunteers

Thurston County is asking for volunteers interested in waste reduction, reuse and recycling.

County officials will train "Master Recycler" volunteers to become community resources on waste reduction, recycling and composting.

Volunteers -- in exchange for 18 hours of free training -- must spend 36 hours during the following year working as community volunteers in activities including staffing booths and displays at community events, helping with office projects and doing story time stints at local libraries.

Course times are from 6 to 9 p.m. March 6, 13, 20, 27 (Wednesdays) at the Thurston County Courthouse.

Field trips will be from 9 a.m. to noon March 9 and 23 (Saturdays).
