Recycling Heroes
Recycling, reuse, reducing waste and repairing, are all hugely important to help lessen the impact on our environment. The council's vision is for Kirklees to have zero avoidable waste by 2038; but that requires action, not only from the council but from residents, businesses, and organisations across the borough. We need your help in finding and celebrating the sustainable superstars of Kirklees by nominating them for one of our four Recycling Hero awards.
Nominations closed on Tuesday 30 September 2025, and judges will be looking for those that they believe are setting the gold standard when it comes to reducing, reusing, and recycling in Kirklees. There are some new awards and wider scope to allow for nominations of more people and organisations. The winner of each award will be announced at our Awards Ceremony in Huddersfield Town Hall in November.
