Jackson County Master Recycler Program
What is Jackson County Master Recycler Program?
The Jackson County Master Recycler program educates citizen volunteers to serve as waste diversion ambassadors in Jackson County. In November 2007, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality provided start-up funding to Jackson County for creation of a Master Recycler service program housed at OSU Extension Service. The Master Recycler program is funded entirely and advised by JCRP.
Each Spring, a 10-week training course educates 35 Jackson County residents and business and government representatives with a training manual, presentations from local and regional experts, and field trips on topics of recycling, waste prevention, composting, hazardous waste and the local solid waste infrastructure.
What does the Master Recycler Program do?
To become a Master Recycler, participants are required to invest at least 40 hours of volunteer annually contributing 1,400 hours of service towards waste reduction in Jackson County.
- Community Events Recycling: Master Recyclers support recycling at community events, such as Pear Blossom Festival, Talent Harvest Festival, Jackson County Fair, Eagle Point July 4th and Rogue Valley Earth Day. In 2009, Master Recyclers staffed over 35 community events, facilitating the recycling of plastic water bottles, aluminum cans, cardboard and other materials.
- Special Solid-Waste Events: Master Recyclers help to host JCRP special events, such as the annual Jackson County Household Hazardous Waste Drop-off event.
- Skills and Talents: Master Recyclers share personal and professional skills in a wide variety of ways, including construction, sewing, graphic design, editing, hospitality, painting, welding, administrative support, event planning and much more.
- Community Education and Outreach: Volunteers help to build awareness and implement waste diversion strategies in our community – in their homes, neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, places of worship, clubs and organizations. Volunteers often staff display tables at events to distribute information, they post fliers in their community, and use word-of-mouth and e-communication to reach and teach others about creating less wasteful lifestyles.
- Adopt-A-Schools: Volunteers partner with Jackson County SMARTWorks to provide long-term continuity to schools with existing recycling programs, as well as helping other schools to develop new recycling programs. Some volunteers are trained to lead classroom presentations and activities.
