RECYCLE BETTER PROGRAM
The Latino Academy’s Recycle Better Program is a community-focused sustainability course offered in partnership with the City of Madison and Sustain Dane. This course helps participants learn how to recycle correctly, understand why recycling rules matter, and gain the tools to support others in improving local recycling habits. Upon completion, participants have the opportunity to become Certified Recycling Stewards and share what they’ve learned within their communities.
