This new addition is intended for municipal, county or government employees who have significant experience in the fields of recycling and/or solid waste or who have completed another professional certification program, such as those offered for health officers or public works managers.

The agenda for the Alternate Series is as follows:

Upon completion of the four classes (which are scheduled one day per week for four consecutive weeks) attendees who wish to complete the program and receive certification will be required to sit for and pass a written exam based on the content of the program presented. As with the full series, registrants will be required to complete the program within a single offering. Cross-registration between series will be considered only under exceptional circumstances. Once certified, CRPs must complete 12 hours per year of continuing professional education/training on issues relating to solid waste and/or recycling in order to maintain their certification.
