The awards are now in their 16th year and will be held on the first night of LARAC’s annual conference, which takes place on 9-10 October at the Hilton Metropole, Birmingham.
The awards ceremony allows visitors to recognise the successes of different local authorities over the past year in a range of achievements. And 2024 brings two brand-new categories: Health and Safety Initiative of the Year and HWRC of the Year! A full list of those shortlisted can be found below.
The shortlist was compiled by judges drawn from across the industry including Cathy Cook, Chair of LARAC; Libby Stonell, Editor of letsrecycle.com; Sally Wilson, Local Authority Technical Consultant at WRAP; Toni McNamara, Policy and Communications Lead at LARAC; Ruth Robinson, Strategy and Engagement Manager, Resources and Waste at Derbyshire county council; and Hilary Tanner, Environment Policy Adviser at the Local Government Association.
