Calling waste management professionals doing exceptional work on delivering top level garden waste services.

After nearly a decade in the garden waste industry, we’ve had the privilege of working with councils across the UK, helping to optimise services with permits and software. Along the way, we’ve seen incredible innovations, dedication, and success stories in garden waste management.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the return of The Garden Waste Award 2025 by Permiserv, celebrating the councils and teams delivering outstanding garden waste services.

Last year, we saw Ipswich Council win the very first ‘Best Run Garden Waste Award’ for 2024 after demonstrating the successes of their garden waste services approach.

Does your team deserve recognition?

If you’ve been working hard to:

✅ Increase subscriptions
✅ Boost tonnage collected
✅ Run effective communication campaigns
✅ Solve service challenges and improve delivery
✅ Provide an exceptional garden waste service

…or anything else that showcases excellence in garden waste management, we want to hear from you!

NEW CATEGORY FOR 2025!

Celebrating the people powering great services!

Behind every smooth-running garden waste service are the individuals in the team!

A dedicated officer, customer service member, refuse worker, and more – making it happen — from planning and communications to on-the-ground problem solving and resident support.

This award recognises an individual who goes above and beyond to deliver outstanding results for their council and community.

We’re looking for someone who:

✅ Champions innovation and service improvement
✅ Solves challenges with creativity and care
✅ Builds strong relationships with residents, teams or partners
✅ Shows real passion for delivering a top-tier garden waste service

✅ Identifies key troubleshooting issues and provides impactful feedback for service improvements
✅ Makes a measurable difference—big or small

Whether they’ve modernised a sign-up process, handled a rollout flawlessly, or just consistently show up and deliver with excellence, this is their moment to be recognised.
