Our Mission
The mission of the Salt Lake City Master Recycler program is to create a network of champions who are trained in waste reduction strategies and are able to assist with outreach and engagement in the Salt Lake City community.
Master Recyclers will be empowered to become recycling champions in their own communities.
Who are the Master Recyclers?
Salt Lake City Master Recyclers are a group of volunteer City representatives and recycling enthusiasts. They work within the community to educate about recycling and encourage people to reduce their waste. Master Recyclers serve as community resources for recycling support and guidance in their very own neighborhoods!
