Representation

When running a community waste organisation or project you may wish to get your point of view heard and be influential in shaping the sector as it grows. However, you may feel that you are not large enough to achieve this. Many networks offer representational services for their members’ and their views to ensure that these issues are considered as key decisions are made.

This section gives links to websites and networks that offer these services and look at the benefits and advantages that they offer.
