Volunteers with Edmonton's Waste Services promote environmental responsibility by helping residents reduce their waste.
Note: A Police Information Check may be required for some roles.
Master Composter Recycler volunteers are Edmonton's waste reduction experts. They volunteer by teaching friends, family, neighbours and co-workers about sustainable waste habits.
This is a "learn and serve" volunteer program, offered annually. Volunteers complete 35 hours of free training, followed by at least 25 hours of volunteering.
Compost School is an interpretive centre between the John Janzen Nature Centre and Fort Edmonton Park. The natural assets of the site need specific maintenance, like hand weeding and careful mulching and transplanting.
You'll help keep the river valley tidy while learning about noxious weeds, native plants, compost, and healthy soil.
Email Compost School for more information and program availability.
