King County - Master Composter Recycler (MRC) Program King County’s Master Recycler Composter (MRC) program provides free community education about waste reduction and recycling. King County is dedicated to reducing the amount of garbage generated in the county and encouraging waste reduction and recycling to the greatest extent possible. Education efforts such as the MRC program play an important role in helping citizens reduce waste.
Residents in King County outside of Seattle are eligible for this program. Participants receive free training about waste reduction, recycling, home composting, alternatives to household hazardous waste, and solid waste impacts on climate change. The next MRC training will be held in early 2012. In exchange for the FREE training, program graduates are expected to volunteer 40 hours of outreach within two years in King County, outside the City of Seattle. MRCs use personal interaction and practical “how–to” information to educate citizens and motivate them to action.
