Recycling Ambassador Program

Become a Ramsey County Recycling Ambassador and help inspire your community to reduce waste.

Recycling Ambassadors take a six-week training program to learn more about environmental health, waste systems and recycling. Using knowledge gained, Recycling Ambassadors volunteer 20 hours or more annually to encourage others to reduce, reuse and recycle. Topics covered in the training include:

• Waste systems in Ramsey County.  
• Composting.  
• Climate change. 
• Environmental justice. 
• Household hazardous waste. 
• General recycling. 

Volunteer activities could include tabling at community events, participating in neighborhood clean-ups, assisting at monthly Fix-It Clinics and more!
