Let's talk about waste
Welcome to the Highland Community Waste Partnership website. Here you can find more information about what we're working on and how to get involved.
80% of Scotland's carbon footprint comes from the things that we make, buy, use and throw away, often after one use.
If we're going to address the climate emergency, we have to change the way that we consume and move towards a more circular economy, where we both use and waste less.
Everyone has a part to play, and every little counts. Join us!
Who we are
The Highland Community Waste Partnership is led and driven by eight community groups across the Highlands, coordinated by Keep Scotland Beautiful.
Together we are working to reduce waste in our communities by changing the way that we all consume, that is, buy, use and dispose of things.
This means using things better, for longer, reducing the impact of waste on our communities and working together to make the most of what we’ve got.
This will help cut costs, grow local, grassroots initiatives and transform the way we live to reduce our environmental impact.
