Waste Awareness Wales campaign

The Communications Consultancy completed a PowerPoint presentation for local authority officers in Wales to use when talking to the general public about recycling.

Project partners included Enviros, Network Recycling, West London Waste Authority, ECT Recycling, the London boroughs of Richmond, Brent, Ealing & Hounslow, and the Organics Research Agency (ORA).

doorstepping training

Waste Watch Communications Consultancy helped the following local authorities with bespoke training on doorstepping - Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, London Borough of Islington, Essex County Council and London Borough of Hounslow

London Borough of Hounslow

The communications consultancy looked at barriers to residents participating in the council's recycling service, especially the kerbside collection. In particular, there was a focus on hard to reach groups: such as the diverse ethnic community within Hounslow and the younger generation. This involved looking at the issues of communication and motivation for different ethnic groups. The work involved a series of qualitative focus groups and in-depth interviews, a communications audit and recommendations for a communications plan. The council was very pleased with the results and commissioned more work from Waste Watch for a large doorstepping campaign.

Hyndburn Borough Council

The communications consultancy produced an education CD-rom for Hyndburn Borough Council in Lancashire. The CD-rom 'A Load of Rubbish?' was designed to help teachers in Hyndburn bring the issue of rubbish and recycling into the classroom in a cross-curricular way. The fifteen minute film focuses on the life cycle of aluminium can and the importance of reducing and recycling rubbish. Teachers' notes were also supplied along with activity sheets for key stages 1 and 2. Hints on extending the activities for key stage 3 are also included.

Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea

The communications consultancy produced a communications audit and communications strategy for the borough, which was then implemented.

Wiltshire Wildlife Trust

Waste Watch Communications Consultancy received a request from the trust for help in communicating the need to minimise waste. The consultancy carried out a days training for the trust's members which covered areas such as setting objectives, briefing designers and identifying target audiences.

Essex County Council

Waste Watch project managed a six month contract with Essex County Council to employ a Rethink Rubbish taskforce utilising doorstepping as a research and communications tool across the county. This project was in partnership with StudentForce for Sustainability and Community Recycling Services. The communications consultancy gave advice and training on doorstepping techniques as part of this project.
