What is the Clean City Awards Scheme?
Essential though it is, waste management seldom enjoys a high
profile within a commercial organisation except when it goes wrong.
Launched in 1994, the Clean City Awards Scheme aims to develop
partnerships with City businesses, both large and small by raising
the profile of responsible waste management and recognising and
rewarding good practice by encouraging businesses to Reduce, Reuse
and Recycle.

- Reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfill
- Ensure compliance with

surroundings
- Provide a forum for City businesses to exchange waste
management initiatives
- Reduce smoking related litter
Benefits of joining

work!
