Become a Zero Waste volunteer

The Changeworks Zero Waste Volunteer Project is looking for enthusiastic volunteers in the Edinburgh and Lothians area.

Volunteers will attend comprehensive training session before going back into their own communities to spread the home composting message. This will be achieved through home visits, talks and workshops and by being a source of advice and support to new and existing composters.

Zero Waste Volunteers

The Changeworks Zero Waste Volunteer Project has recruited and trained volunteers from across Edinburgh and the Lothians to give advice on Recycling, reducing food waste and home composting.

These volunteers promote home composting in their own communities by providing advice during home visits, attending events, as well as giving talks and running workshops about home composting to local groups.
