With less than three weeks until the Awards for Excellence in Recycling & Waste Management 2026, tables are selling fast and organisers are calling on industry professionals to secure their places before availability runs out.
The ceremony will bring together over 1,000 leaders from across the recycling and waste management sector for a full afternoon of celebration, recognition and networking.
Now in its 22nd year, the Awards for Excellence is widely regarded as the most prestigious event in the recycling and waste management calendar, recognising outstanding achievement across 21 categories spanning local authorities, waste contractors, technology innovators and community initiatives.
This year’s ceremony will be hosted by comedian Jimmy Carr, who will lead proceedings through the afternoon’s awards presentations.
What the day includes
Guests can expect a drinks reception on arrival at midday, followed by a three-course awards luncheon and the full awards ceremony, ending at 4:30PM.
Tables seat 10 guests and include Prosecco on arrival, five bottles of wine per table and the full awards experience. Premium inner circle Platinum and Gold tables offer additional drinks packages and prime positioning closer to the stage, while Platinum tables also include a half-page advert in the awards booklet and a professional team photograph.
Booking a table remains one of the most effective ways for companies to bring their teams together for a high-profile industry occasion.
Tickets are also available on an individual basis from £405 + VAT for those attending independently.
