Dave was nominated by his bosses and
Harborough Council in the “Collection Crew
of the Year” for his dedication to the collec-
tion service and his rural community.
Dave covers up to 28,000 miles each year
collecting household waste in isolated pla-
ces in Harborough and has never failed des-
pite the harsh weather conditions. He has
improved the collection service and neigh-
bours have praised his positive attitude and
reliability.
Hadleigh
The Hadleigh Household Waste Collec-
tion Centre which he manages on behalf of
Suffolk County was the runner up in the Civic
Amenity Site of the Year. It was selected for
constantly achieving high rates of recycling
which have been improving every year since
2010. The recycling rate in 2010 was 83%,
87% in 2010, and 88% in 2012, exceeding
the 60% target contemplated in the contract
with Suffolk County.
Besides a successful household appliance
(RAEE) waste recycling, it has also joined a
series of charities such as Re-Cycle or the
Ipswich Furniture Project. Client satisfac-
tion with the site is very high and the crew
is often praised by the public for being very
cooperative.
