Funding Success for Win on Waste!

We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded a grant from the Wessex Water Foundation Environment Fund via Dorset Community Foundation.  

This grant will support our work across East Dorset, both in our current Win on Waste sessions and in launching a new session in central Poole later in the year, allowing us to remove more waste plastic from local landfill and recycling provision and redirect it to charities and organisations that can benefit from it.

The Environment Fund supports charitable and community activities across the region that have a positive impact on the local environment. The fund is part of the Wessex Water Foundation which provides dedicated funding for projects across the Wessex Water region every year.

Win on Waste Recycling Awards 2023 – Now Open for Nominations!

We’re excited to say that we are holding our Recycling Awards again and this year they coincide with our 10th birthday party celebrations on Saturday 28th October.  A double celebration!

We love our Awards.  We feel it is so important to recognise dedicated recyclers who are giving so much of their time to help the environment. 

We know from running them in the past that there are some incredible local recyclers out there. We’ve been amazed and, in many cases, humbled when we’ve read their nomination forms and seen exactly how much they’ve achieved.

So, talking of nomination forms, we’d love to see lots for our 10th Birthday Recycling Awards.

These are the categories:

  1. Adult recycler (18+)
  2. A team of recyclers from a private/statutory/voluntary organisation (where its main business is  recycling)
  3. A team of recycling volunteers (a group of individuals who come together to recycle)
  4. The No 1 recycler  (a person who has really gone the extra mile)
  5. Young recycler (age 17 and under)
  6. A private/statutory/voluntary organisation whose employees recycle (but not where its main business is recycling)
  7. School or college

To apply,  download our nomination form (in Word or PDF format), complete and either email or post it to us by the closing date of Monday 11 September. 

We’re really looking forward to reading all about the recycling action your nominee is taking to help make the environment a better place.
