We're supporting the Scottish Government to deliver the National Litter and Flytipping Strategy for Scotland which was published in June 2023, alongside Zero Waste Scotland and the Scottish Environment Protect Agency (SEPA).  

We're committed to collaborating with our partners to drive implementation of the strategy action plans to tackle the litter emergency which we declared in 2022.

The climate, nature and litter emergencies are all interlinked; with unsustainable consumption at the heart of all three - in an effort to make Scotland clean, green and sustainable we understand that we need to inspire behaviour change to improve our environment and the quality of people's lives, their wellbeing and the places that they care for. 

As a key delivery partner of the Strategy Action Plan, we have been working hard with our partners, funders and communities across the country.

During 2023/24 we lead on engaging and empowering communities through the creation of an online litter hub and a new litter education programme, developing and testing innovative interventions to tackle littering behaviours and collecting and analysing litter data to support improvements in line with the Data Strategy.

Throughout 2024/25 we are developing these actions further.  The Community Litter Hub is dedicated place for information, advice and support to empower you to tackle the litter emergency. 

The community litter workshops have been updated and aim to build capacity and capability in community groups and other local organisations to tackle litter and littering behaviour.

You can find out more about our other active work to tackle the litter emergency and how you can get involved here.

Be inspired and play your part in making the litter strategy work for you and for Scotland.
