EAI's Own, Willow Elliott, Earns Master Recycler Centurion

Our very own Willow Elliott has earned the Master Recycler Centurion award from The City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability. Willow received her Master Recycler designation several years ago after completing an eight-week course on waste prevention and recycling, and by spending at least 30 hours volunteering and putting her skills to good use.  Her Centurion designation was earned recently, following the completion of over 100 hours of volunteer service!

Master Recycler’s focus on the 3 R’s: reduce the amount of natural resources used in the first place, reuse material and recycle what cannot be salvaged. Willow, a resident of Sauvie Island, earned her 100 hours by making efforts to clean-up the island and improve recycling options for its residents. Additionally, she single-handedly erected a Green Team at Elliott Associates and took the lead on our very own composting program. Congratulations to Willow, our Master Recycler Centurion!
