Nottingham has been named as the prettiest and tidiest city in the East
Midlands.
In total the city scooped four accolades at the regional In
Bloom Awards last week.
The Nottingham Business Improvement District (BID) picked up the East Midlands in
Bloom award for the Least Littered Environment – beating 63 Bloom entries from
across the East Midlands region.
This special award is a tribute to the cleanliness of the
city centre and the professionalism and hard work of our city centre cleaning
teams. Thank you and well done to everyone.
Pictured receiving
the award is Julie Walker and Caroline Elmhirst from Nottingham in Bloom,

Did you know that one of the most common contaminants in
household recycling bins is carrier bags?
Many residents think they are
helping our bin crews by putting their recyclable materials in carrier bags.
Carrier bags actually contaminate the bins as they can't be recycled.
Please make sure you put any
recyclable materials in your household recycling bin (brown bin with grey lid)
loose to avoid any non-collections.
Download this handy guide to learn more about what can
and can not be recycled.
