In the fall, leaf mulching is demonstrated. Volunteers are expected to practice grasscycling year-round and maintain an attractive lawn. Many grasscycling volunteers also compost in their yards, and discuss their bins during demonstrations. Interested residents are referred to volunteers through the Recycling Hotline based on geographic location. Volunteers then contact residents to arrange a consultation or visit.
Anticipated commitment is a few hours per month during the spring and fall.
Assist with maintenance of Compost Demonstration Sites. Develop new presentation materials. Meet other Montgomery County residents interested in improving the environment. Field trips to local solid waste and recycling operations are offered to volunteers. These trips are intended to deepen and expand volunteers' environmental knowledge.
