Are you a rampant recycler?
Do you carry your banana peel home when you can’t find a compost bin?
Are you on a mission to reduce waste and spread good fun in the process?

If so, we want you!  We’re looking for friendly, enthusiastic, volunteer Waste Warriors to help bring our waste reduction mission to life at Chittenden County events.

Your Waste Warrior opportunity starts with a free one-hour training, where you’ll become a certified CSWD Waste Warrior. Come meet like-minded neighbors, have a snack, and learn how to help make composting and recycling efforts at local events successful. You’ll learn:

  • How to determine what goes into recycling and composting containers (It’s not always as easy as you think – there are a lot of different kinds of materials and products out there!)
  • How to communicate with attendees in ways that help them learn
  • How to help an event up their game in making sure as much as possible stays out of the landfill
  • And more!

Sign up today! The Waste Warrior training dates are:

  • Monday, February 2nd
    5:30-6:30PM
    Contois Auditorium (City Hall), Burlington
  • Thursday, March 12th
    5:30-6:30PM
    Contois Auditorium (City Hall), Burlington
