Green Can Award: Herisau impresses with littering campaigns
This year's Green Can Award was presented to three winners. Herisau won the award for its litter prevention campaigns and a win-win market.
Together with the three new winners, Herisau AR, Fehraltorf ZH and the Entlebuch Region LU association of municipalities, 30 towns or municipalities in Switzerland already hold the Green Can Award. The award honors those who are particularly innovative and sustainable in the collection of various recyclable materials.
In the fight against littering, Herisau has been pursuing a clear strategy with campaigns since 2006. New litter garbage cans and Robidogs, posters on public transport and media work have been used in the town to combat careless littering. Herisau is one of the three winners of the Green Can Award for this activity and for a Winwin market where all items can be disposed of and purchased for recycling and reuse.
