Councillor Nick Holder, cabinet member for waste, was met with applause when he presented the trophy in the council meeting on Tuesday. The council launched their ‘Recycling: Let’s Sort It’ campaign in February following an increase in items put in blue-lidded bins that can’t be recycled. Cllr Nick Holder said: “We are delighted to win this award for our work to encourage people to recycle as much as possible. “We’ve asked that people make simple changes and ensure they are putting the right materials in the right bins, and that small change in behaviour helps make a big difference. “Winning this national award demonstrates we’re making great progress and we’ll be working hard to see that continue.
