Recycle Better Class

The Streets Division and Sustain Dane have been working together to offer the Recycle Better class for the last few years.  

The goal of the class is to teach and empower you to go out and teach your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, social media followers, or whoever else in your life the right way to recycle more and recycle right. 

Class Details

Information about the class can be found on the Sustain Dane website.

The class is made up of two 90-minute sessions. The class is taught online by Sustain Dane with an assist by the City of Madison Streets Division.  

You will learn a lot of details about recycling and other information about low-waste living.

Why is there a cost for this?

Sustain Dane asks for $15 to attend this class to help cover their costs for putting it on each year.

We want anyone who is interested to attend this class. So we don't want this cost to be a worry.  

If the tuition is a barrier, please reach out to Sustain Dane to see about waiving the charge so you can attend.
