Outreach & Education

Effective outreach and education have long been a strong suit of Full Circle staff; they make a huge difference in our work. Our clear communication is equally at the core of our business assistance, elementary school recycling programs, legislative testimony, or client relations.

The world of garbage brings us in touch with business owners, custodians, property managers, waste service providers, elected officials, clients, materials processors, Fortune 100 manufacturers, and myriad other people and organizations . No matter with whom we interact, Full Circle staff strives for clear, succinct, and honest information and communication.

Our staff has training and experience in community-based social marketing, facilitation, and stakeholder engagement. These and other tools are critical for listening to, understanding, and effecting positive behavior-change in our audiences.
