Leon County officials described the Master Recycler training launched in 2025 as an advanced recycling class designed to build local advocates for correct recycling and waste reduction.
"We launched our Master Recycler class, which we define as a 'Recycling 201,'" said Kate Lovett, the county’s Sustainability Manager. Lovett said the course has trained about 100 Master Recyclers in roughly a calendar year and emphasized the program’s goal of advocacy rather than policing neighbors’ recycling.
The Office asks Master Recyclers to act as "recycling superheroes" and community advocates who help neighbors understand local recycling guidelines. Officials recommended that residents subscribe to the Office of Sustainability email alerts and social media to learn about future classes and volunteer opportunities.
