NCRA EDUCATION

NCRA offers two education opportunities throughout the year, Recycling Update and Introduction to Recycling. The NCRA Education committee has appeared at the Bay Area Environmental Education Resource Fair (BAEER Fair) and is also in the process of creating a series of signboards to reflect the state of recycling in California today.

Introduction to Recycling: All the Basics: Terms, Concepts, Equipment, and Resources. This three day workshop trains people who would like a quick overview of recycling by presenting an inexpensive three-day course at a convenient location. The course is designed for newcomers to the recycling field and is an ideal orientation for many individuals such as: entry-level program assistants, interns, professionals from other fields, members of local advisory committees, city council members and staff, members of the board of supervisors, activists, solid waste handlers, recycling facility employees, commercial and industrial facility recycling program managers and staff.

Recycling Update: Get from out-of-touch to up-to-date in one day as Northern California Recycling Association's Recycling Update presents over 25 knowledgeable people who take 10 minutes each to tell what's happening and what works in the world of resource recovery.
