- Motion reference: S6M-13546
That the Parliament congratulates Aberdeenshire Council’s Recycling and Waste Service, which won a Silver Striving for Excellence Award from the Association for Public Service Excellence (APSE) after three large improvement projects were delivered across the past 18 months; notes that the awards recognise where local authorities are going above and beyond when delivering fleet, waste, and grounds services for their local communities; further notes that the three projects recognised as part of the award were the diamond bin replacement programme, the introduction of in-cab technology for bin collection crews, and the rollout of new orange-lid bins to improve the quality and quantity of what is recycled across the region; commends the team for continuing to embed these projects and maximise their benefits, and wishes the team continued success in the future.
