About the Role
Nottingham City Council have an exciting opportunity for a talented self-starter to design and implement the Council’s Waste Reduction and Recycling engagement programme for residents and businesses.
Your focus will be on promoting correct bin use by residents, improving the rate and quality of recycling presented for collection by all householders by reducing contamination in bins, and tackling waste minimisation.
