A TROPHY has crowned the top recycling efforts of Stratford District Council.
Green-minded council representatives were on hand at the Biffa Depot at Avenue Farm in Stratford to receive the award for the highest household recycling rate in the country for 2024/25.
SDC was awarded the accolade back in April based on figures published by Defra.
With a 63.9 per cent household recycling rate, the council jumped up two places in the league table after seeing a 2.9 per cent increase from the previous year.
Second in the league table was Milton Keynes Council with a household recycling rate of 63.2 per cent, followed by South Oxfordshire District Council with 61.3 per cent.
