Calling waste warriors and super recyclers

by Lorraine Gibson

Dorset’s waste and recycling charity, Win on Waste is looking for local people who go the extra mile to help the environment for its annual Recycling Awards.

“We love our Awards,” says Monique Munroe, Win on Waste chairman of trustees.

“We feel it is so important to recognise dedicated recyclers who are giving so much of their time to help the environment.’

“We know there are some incredible local recyclers out there. We’ve been amazed and, in many cases, humbled when we’ve read their nomination forms and seen exactly how much they’ve achieved.”

If you fit one of these categories, or know of a local eco hero, then get entering now!

Adult recycler (18+)

Team of recyclers from a private/statutory/ voluntary organisation (where its main business is recycling)

Team of recycling volunteers (a group of individuals who come together to recycle)

The No 1 recycler (a person who has really gone the extra mile)

Young recycler (age 17 and under)

A private/statutory/voluntary organisation whose employees recycle (but not where its main business is recycling)

Award recipients will be honoured in an October ceremony, which will also celebrate Win on Waste’s 10th Birthday. Nominations must be returned by noon on Monday, September 11.
