Clean Britain Awards
The Clean Britain Awards (CBA) succeed Britain’s Cleanest City Awards, introduced in 1988 by The British Cleaning Council (BCC). As of 2009 the management and running of the awards has been taken over by The Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM).
The Scheme is held on a two year cycle with the next Awards Presentation taking place at the biennial Cleaning Show held at the NEC, Birmingham in March 2011.
The 'Clean Britain Awards' Mission
To provide cleanliness recognition for both the custodians of public spaces and the people who use them, through the development of a sense of civic pride and respect for the environment in which people live, work or visit, throughout the UK
The rapid development of local and national quality of life issues in recent years has embraced a large number of agencies – both Governmental and non-political and, coupled with the rising expectations of residents and visitors, has provided local communities with a strong incentive to raise and sustain local environmental and cleanliness standards.
There is now a significant opportunity to use the Clean Britain Awards scheme to restore and develop local and national civic pride in 21st Century Britain and, in so doing, promote the UK wastes management & street cleansing industry as a caring, responsible and pro-active influencing force within British society.
Cleanliness issues impact very considerably on everybody’s daily quality of life outside the home environment and the focus of Clean Britain Awards is to engage with the whole community, both as potential entrants to the scheme, as well as potential beneficiaries within individual communities, through positive publicity generated for the relevant Local Authority. The manifestation of a clean Britain is not simply in towns and cities but in all open space areas frequented and seen by the public.
