WSU Waste Wise Volunteers (formerly called Waste Warriors) are volunteers trained to help Island County residents, schools, and businesses reduce waste. The first WSU Waste Wise Volunteer class graduated in 1992. Since that time, the program has trained 15 - 20 new volunteers each year. Volunteers assist with a variety of Island County waste reduction programs and help bring information to the public through presentations, displays, and newspaper articles. Waste Wise Volunteers teach composting, recycling and paper making for adults and children. They set up recycling stations at fairs and show shoppers how to make waste saving choices at the grocery store. This program is supported and funded by Island County Public Works Solid Waste Division and Washington State University Cooperative Extension. The program is administered by Washington State University Cooperative Extension in Island County.
