Each year, the Council looks for the resident who gets more of their street recycling each week, to crown them Lewisham's Recycling Champion.
You can nominate yourself or your hardworking environmentally aware neighbour or friend to win.
We will help nominated residents by providing them with information and a toolkit to so they can make a difference and make their street the best recycling street in Lewisham by recycling all of their paper, cardboard, cans, glass and plastic bottles .
Streets' recycling rates and materials being recycled are measured once all nominations are in and then measured again after three months to find out which street has seen the biggest improvement in recycling behaviour.
A sign is erected in the street where the Recycling Champion lives, recognising all their efforts.
Reasons to nominate a recycling champion in your area
Everyone needs to do all they can to reduce, reuse and recycle for all our futures.
We want to reward the dedication of those unique people who go the extra mile to encourage more recycling where they live because we know it can inspire others.
So, if you know a possible winner or think you’ve got what it takes, get in touch and complete a nomination form.
