•  Give details of the applicant(s) for this award, and the project(s) they are involved with along with any other relevant personal information.
  

• Detail the activities carried out, outside of the applicant's role of employment.

• Detail the outcomes and benefits of this work to the local community.

• Consider how has the applicant(s) encouraged public participation in managing resources, reducing or recycling waste or improving the environmental quality of the local area?

Applications or nominations must include a written statement of no more than 1,000 words detailing how the Community Recycling Champion has improved their area of influence. This can include evidence from those they have influenced as well as the results of their efforts.
