A new grant scheme created as part of the National Litter and Flytipping Strategy to aid private landowners in deterring flytipping on their land is being relaunched.
What is the Private Landowners Grant Fund?
Zero Waste Scotland is administering the funding, to aid private landowners towards interventions that will prevent flytipping on private land.
The fund aims to support innovative projects that will:
- Prevent flytipping on private land
- Engage local communities
- Facilitate the reporting of flytipping and enforcement of existing penalties
- Have social, environmental, and economic benefits
We will shortly be posting a set of case studies showcasing last year’s projects (below) as well as Keep Britian Tidy’s flytipping grant fund case studies, for ideas and inspiration.
