Bucks Council has won an award for their dedication to zero waste.
They have won ‘Best Local Authority Recycling Initiative’ at the Awards for Excellence in Recycling and Waste Management ceremony, for its innovative Zero Waste Map.
The Zero Waste Map is an interactive online map that lists over 200 local shops, businesses, public recycling and repair drop-off locations across Bucks, and has been viewed by more than 29,000 people since its launch in September 2020.
The map enables residents to easily search for a specific service or business, but more importantly, it shows all the fantastic options already out there, whether users are looking for them or not. This promotes zero-waste living, makes it accessible and supports local projects, community groups and businesses too.
Peter Strachan, Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment, said:
“I’m delighted that we’ve won ‘Best Local Authority Recycling Initiative’ for our Zero Waste Map. The award recognises the fantastic work being done by our Recycling & Waste team to enhance and encourage zero-waste lifestyles.
“Thousands of residents have already used the map to quickly find what they are looking for, such as a recycling drop-off points and repair services. And the layout of the map means they can see other services near them, prompting residents to learn more about other zero-waste options.
