On Tuesday, September the 24th, over a dozen received the award from the town of Hafnarfjörður. That is, 10 homeowners and residential properties, two businesses and residents of the street Heiðvangur (street of the year). “In recent years, this crowded street has been noticeably well-groomed and residents clearly agree on keeping their surroundings tidy,” the reasoning states.

The neatest companies of the year are located at Hringhella 12. Ísrör ehf and Málmar ehf. received a recognition and the reasoning states that the access to the plot is remarkably neat despite the operation in question. “It’s noticeable how much effort is put into keeping the environment tidy.”
