Island Waste Services Community Liaison Officer Lynn Clarke provides an important link between the Company and the residents of the Island to promote and educateon all aspects of waste collection, recycling and disposal.

Talks and presentations on waste management are given to local groups throughout the Island. If you wish one of the Community Liaison officers to give a presentation to your group or would like to arrange a visit to Island Waste Services sites, please go to the Community Talk/Visit page.

If you would like one of the Community Liaison Officers to visit your school or would like to arrange a school visit to Island Waste Services sites, please go to the Education Talk/Visit page.

In promoting and publicising all aspects of waste management Island Waste Services have made full use of all local media including The Isle of Wight County Press, Wight Insight, Isle of Wight Radio, the West Wight and Ryde Beacons. Information is sent to all Parish and Town Councils and numerous other local groups and organisations.

Three direct mail leaflets have been sent to all Island households during the last five years.

We have also made use of our own vehicles for advertising!

Community Advisory Groups and Advisory Panel

On a quarterly basis we meet with our Community Advisory Groups and an Advisory Panel. The Advisory Panel comprises members and officers from the Isle of Wight Council, together with a representative from the Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce.

The Community Advisory Groups comprise representatives of local community groups. If you feel you would like to become involved in the Community Advisory Group meetings, please contact the Community Liaison Officer (tel 821234).
