Helen Venada, SJC Waste Reduction and Hazardous Waste coordinator, has announced the 2012 class of newly-trained Master Composters/Recyclers.

Called MCRs and available at the Fair to instruct islanders in composting and recycling techniques, they are: Sadie Bailey, Jackie Bates, Kris Bayas, Sandy Bishop, John Boyd, Joyce Brinar, Diana Brooks, Mikial Denker, Eve Elasigue, Cathy Ellis, Pegi Groundwater, Lisa Guard, Neil Hanson, Carolyn Jacobsen, Dean Jacobsen, Marilyn Karon, Danna Kinsey, Donna Lane, Sheila Metcalf, Michael Moss, Dan Post, Bill Ryba, Dona Ryba, and Helen Venada.

Recycling questions will be answered by MCRs at the trash and recycling stations; composting questions will be addressed at the Ag Tent or at the produce area. The goal: a Zero Waste future for San Juan County.
