Enviro Champs
In partnership with Southampton City Council, Southampton Solent University recruits ‘Enviro Champs’ to work with residents in various roads in the city, to encourage recycling and to keep their roads in a tip-top condition whilst boosting their CV!
The students are split into groups and each group is given two or three roads to work with.
In the chosen roads, they clear litter and graffiti and give residents information on recycling. Their work has resulted in a much cleaner street scene and a reduction of contaminated 
recycling bins.
Councillor Matthew Dean, Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport, said:
“These young Enviro Champs have really made a difference in many roads in the city. Let’s face it, like any local authority we can only make a big difference in the city with recycling and waste if we get our residents on board with what we are trying to achieve.”
