Tillamook County Solid Waste Department and Heart of Cartm have joined forces to revitalize the Master Recyclers Course with fresh, engaging content. With generous funding from the Oregon Community Foundation – BottleDrop Fund, Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, and Tillamook County Solid Waste, the course has received an exciting update. Heart of Cartm crafted the new curriculum, while Deer Island Studio in Nehalem designed a vibrant new logo and advertising materials to bring this critical program to life.
Classes begin on Sept 14th and continue Tuesdays 5pm to 8pm and Saturdays 9am to 1pm through Oct. 1st.
The revamped course offers fresh material on reuse, repair and recycling education packed into several short classes, making it easier and more convenient for busy residents to attend. While content would be engaging for youth with an adult present, the course is designed for residents over age 16.
Whether you’re new to recycling or looking to deepen your knowledge, this updated program is the perfect opportunity to learn from experts, participate in hands-on activities, and connect with others passionate about sustainability.
And, the course is completely free!
Graduates of the program will be prepared to volunteer in Tillamook County as educators and advocates within their communities, inspiring others to adopt sustainable practices. The course is offered at no cost, with a volunteer service project serving as an exchange. Each unique project allows participants to apply their new skills and make a tangible impact on local sustainability efforts.
