County Calls For Lake Elsinore Volunteers For Recycling Classes

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — Officials with the Riverside County Department of Waste Resources are looking for volunteers from across the county to help teach others about recycling and composting.

"Outreach volunteers assist with classes or events by interacting with the public, answering questions on outreach programs and distributing materials," officials said in a news release Wednesday. "The ideal volunteer enjoys meeting people, likes to learn new things and is passionate about the environment."

Those who volunteer must attended a two-hour orientation meeting and pledge to commit to four hours of volunteer time each quarter of the year.

"Opportunities to volunteer at classes and events exist across the entire county; plus, the volunteers select the events, dates and times that work best for them," officials said.

The next orientation is set for Nov. 7 at 9 a.m. at the Riverside County Department of Waste Resources, 14310 Frederick St., Moreno Valley. Visit http://www.rcwaste.org/volunteer or call 951-486-3200 for more information.
