This year we are excited to announce the addition of a new award! The Mecklenburg County Recycling Excellence Award sponsored by Mecklenburg County is open to individuals, businesses of all sizes, non-profits and community groups within Mecklenburg County.

Nominations can be made online before March 2 by visiting sustaincharlotte.org/awards.

The entries will be judged by an independent panel of local Sustain Charlotte members. Nonprofits, neighborhood organizations, academic institutions/schools, businesses, and government agencies in the Greater Charlotte area are all welcome to apply. *Government agencies are not eligible for the Mecklenburg County Recycling Excellence Award.
