Do you know a Recycling Hero?
We want to recognise the people who are setting the example and benchmark when it comes to recycling in Kirklees, so we are holding a Recycling Heroes of Kirklees Awards and we need your nominations.
We have four awards for which you can nominate people and organisations: Recycling Hero, Young Recycling Hero, School Recycling Hero, and Business Recycling Hero.
Individuals may be working in the community, inspiring others, or acting on their own as proactive recyclers. The schools and businesses we are looking for will be going beyond the normal expectations and have built recycling into their curriculum or business strategy.
All you need to do to nominate a person, a school or business is to write 200 words maximum on why you think they should win one of the awards.
Who is going that little bit further?
Councillor Naheed Mather, Cabinet Member for Environment said:
“Virtually everyone is doing their bit these days to help combat climate change, look after the environment, and make the best use of our resources – but some of us are going that little bit further – in fact, some are going a lot, lot further. We think these people should be recognised for what they do, which is why we have set up these awards for Recycling Week. You may know someone who is active in your community, or a young person that is collecting and recycling materials, a school that has built recycling into its curriculum or a business that should be seen as a benchmark when it comes to waste recycling; if so, we want to hear about them.”
Make your nomination
The shortlisted nominees will be invited to an awards ceremony in Huddersfield Town Hall where the awards will be presented by the Mayor of Kirklees on 27 October.
Nominations close on 13 October, no nominations will be accepted after this date.
