One of the most important ways that EMRC is involving the community is through its Waste Management Community Reference Group (WMCRG).

The WMCRG was formed in 2002 to provide informed advice and feedback to EMRC on waste management and waste education issues. Members comprise people from within the areas covered by EMRC's six member Councils. 

Since its inception, the WMCRG has assisted the EMRC progress a number of important waste education initiatives. Recent achievements include:

• Playing a key role in the Resource Recovery Project since 2004
• Being actively involved in the resource recovery community and regional workshops
• Providing feedback on the resource recovery guides and subsequent community advertising
• Providing feedback on the 2009-2011 Waste Education Strategy
