Waste management is almost always a sensitive subject and new facilities often meet with a degree of local opposition. As discussed earlier in this guide, consultation should be embedded in the design process, but this should not stop when the facility is permitted or indeed when it has been delivered on the ground.
In many instances, particularly in the case of large-scale facilities, it may be appropriate to establish a community liaison mechanism. This would provide a clear link between the facility and the local community, and promote open communication.
