The Recycling Impact Award is presented annually to a National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA) member who is committed to working within a state, region, and/or communities to positively impact resource conservation and recycling. These recycling stewardship efforts enhance the lives of constituents and impact every aspect of American life including the U.S. economy and jobs, the environment, manufacturing, commodities, global trade, reducing solid waste, sustainable living and development, transportation (rail, trucking, and waterborne shipping), along with the myriad of additional possible and vital recycling efforts.

This year's award will be presented at the NLGA Annual at the Loews Chicago in Chicago, IL, July 20 to 22, 2022.
