Love Peterborough, Love Your Community nominated for National Recycling Awards 2016

Love Peterborough, Love Your Community has been shortlisted for the National Recycling Awards 2016 in the ‘Communications’ category, recognising those who have taken a fresh approach to promoting behaviour change. To help encourage and increase recycling across the city, Peterborough City Council set up the Love Peterborough scheme in partnership with Amey and ourselves, Jump (Local Green Points). The scheme utilises our ‘Community Points’ platform to engage residents in recycling and waste minimisation behaviours. Since launching in October 2015, Love Peterborough, Love Your Community has engaged residents in a range of positive behaviours from recycling garden waste, bulky waste and electronics to donating unwanted items to charity and switching to reusable nappies! Residents earn Green Points for their recycling efforts which go towards rewards for themselves and their community.  Winners will be announced 6^th July 2016 at the National Recycling Awards ceremony.
