Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and become a champion for the environment in your neighborhood? Ramsey County is calling for volunteers to join its Recycling Ambassador Program, a community-level initiative designed to spread awareness and practices of recycling, waste reduction, and sustainability. As noted on the Ramsey County website, the program focuses on enabling residents to take an active role in combating climate change and promoting environmental justice.

For those itching to start making a difference, mark your calendars. The Recycling Ambassador training is set to be held virtually, spanning six Tuesdays from Sept. 10 to Oct. 15, going from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. each session, as detailed by Ramsey County.

Participants are expected to have internet access and to be readily available for all sessions, ensuring they are equipped to effectively guide and impact the community. The training will cover a broad array of topics, including but not limited to food scraps recycling and household hazardous waste management.
