Young Quinn has been recognised as a Litter Legend by Wyndham council for his dedication to helping the environment.
The award is presented to residents who strive to keep Wyndham clean.
Quinn, who will celebrate his seventh birthday in September, met with Wyndham mayor Adele Hegedich on Tuesday.
Cr Hegedich thanked Quinn for his efforts to clean up the municipality, including as a volunteer with the Love Our Street Werribee and 3029 community litter collection groups.

“What I like the most about doing it, is that I like doing the hard work,” he said.
