Cheshire East Council is on the hunt for new volunteers who are passionate about reducing waste.
The Council would like to hear from people who can advise and empower local residents to reduce waste, home composting and making the most of leftover food.
Each volunteer receives training, travel expenses and membership of the waste reduction volunteer (WRV) reward scheme and in return will be asked to participate in a number of events and projects throughout the year.
It is a joint scheme being run by Cheshire East Council and Cheshire West and Chester Council. The next induction training session takes place on Saturday, March 31 at Tatton Park.
Councillor Rod Menlove, Cabinet member with responsibility for environmental services, said: "There are many benefits to becoming a waste reduction volunteer and they can expect to learn new skills, work in the community and meet new people.
"Our volunteers are an invaluable resource, providing a direct link with Cheshire East Council and local residents.
"The project is designed to be insightful, educational but, most of all, fun. It is always rewarding when the volunteers talk to us about the experiences they've had on the many events they have been involved with."
Cheshire East Council is proud to have been working with volunteers who show great enthusiasm and extensive knowledge of food and home composting.
Anyone who would like to become a waste reduction volunteer can contact the project coordinator on 0300 123 5011 or apply online via the Cheshire East Council website.
