APSE is pleased to present the Innovation Awards, celebrating outstanding local councils that use innovative ideas and solutions to tackle the current challenges facing their frontline refuse and recycling, street scene and parks services.
The awards provide participating authorities with an opportunity to showcase their expertise, alongside the results that they have achieved.
The ideal submission will contain a description of the problem or challenge faced, and the innovative approach taken to remedy it. This could be, for example, a service redesign, new training techniques, use of new materials or equipment, and new methods of responding to/communicating with the public. The submission should also include the outcomes that have been achieved.
As a helpful guide, a brochure featuring the successful submissions of previous Innovation Awards is available to download.
Member and non-member authorities are welcome to submit an application.
Entries will be assessed on a submission basis by an independent judging panel.
