Residents and staff of Federal Way apartments, condos and mobile home parks are encouraged to attend the city’s recycling ambassador training from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, June 30 at Federal Way City Hall, 33325 Eighth Ave. S. to become their complex’s on-site recycling expert.

This recycling ambassador training was developed by the city of Federal Way and Waste Management following a “train the trainer” model.

This program teaches multi-family recycling ambassadors the dos and don’ts of recycling, how recycling works, tips for sharing information with neighbors and also provides resources to keep their recycling program tidy.

After completing the training, the recycling ambassadors are given recycling flyers, tote bags and other supplies to share with their neighbors.

Waste Management will provide $20 gift cards to the first 20 who complete the ambassador training, then $50 gift cards for those who put the training into action by helping their neighbors become better recyclers.

Last year, 20 residents and management staff from 13 different Federal Way multi-family complexes attended the training and helped increase recycling at their properties. These ambassadors were recognized at a City Council meeting for their outstanding efforts.
