Community Recycling Ambassadors fall review: All about organics!
Wednesday, November 15 from noon to 1:30 p.m.
Mark your calendar for this year’s virtual event to refresh your knowledge on organics recycling! This is a continuing education event for Community Recycling Ambassador volunteers, and attendance counts as one and a half hours toward your volunteer commitment.
We are offering a series of facility tours for Community Recycling Ambassadors. The last three tours for the year will take place at the Hennepin Energy Recover Center (HERC) in downtown Minneapolis.
All tours are free, but you must register to attend. Each tour date has a maximum capacity of 24 people, so sign up early to reserve your spot. Please only register for dates you know you can attend.
Fill out the form to sign up for a tour.
This October, celebrate the first anniversary of MNimize and support businesses taking action to reduce single-use plastic by participating in the MNimize Fall Food Tour!
From coffee shops to breweries to bakeries, vegan fare to Somali cuisine to darn good burgers, MNimize businesses have something to offer every appetite – with less plastic on the side.
How to participate
Visit participating MNimize businesses from October 1 to 31 to be entered into a drawing to win one of five prizes. Look for the MNimize Fall Food Tour poster near the checkout counter or at the front of each business and scan the QR code to enter your information for a chance to win. Or, if QR codes aren’t your cup of tea, ask a staff member for a paper sign-in sheet.
Earn bonus entries by sharing an Instagram story or post with a photo you took at a MNimize business or by resharing a post from @mnimizeplastic. Be sure to follow and tag MNimize so your entry can be counted!
