Stakeholder Involvement in Waste Management Planning
Stakeholder involvement is a legal requirement in drafting waste management plans. By involving stakeholders, additional expertise is brought in, difficult topics can be identified and discussed effectively, and common understanding can be built. Dealing with difficult partners involves listening to their opinions, addressing concerns, and including their input in the plans. Critical discussion topics include responsibility, service quality, costs, and waste collection methods.
