Subject: Funding for Flytipping

Good afternoon

I thought that you would be interested to hear about this funding opportunity.

Is flytipping blighting your land or neighbourhood? Do you need some help to remove the waste and dispose of it properly, or to prevent it happening again? If so support is now available.

Zero Waste Scotland has launched their second flytipping grant scheme this summer, which will allow landowners/managers and communities to apply for small grants to help clear their land of flytipped material and create long-term, innovative deterrents to flytipping.

Anyone who has experienced problems with flytipping on the land for which they are responsible, and can provide evidence of the problem, will be eligible to apply for a small grant of between £500 and £10,000, from the total pot of £75,000.

Details of who can apply, what the grant can be spent on, and an application pack are available now at http://www.dumbdumpers.org/flytipping/.

For more information contact the litter and flytipping team at Keep Scotland Beautiful, who administer the grant scheme on behalf of Zero Waste Scotland, at flytipping@ksbscotland.org.uk or on 01786 471333.

The closing date for applications is 5pm on Friday 31st August 2012. (Please ensure that you have received a confirmation email after submitting your application.

Kind regards

It`s a good idea.Surely though it is addressing the effect and not the cause?It seems that the authority has given up.Here in Staffordshire any fly-tipped material is sieved for evidence of the perpetrator and fines have been handed out.I have passed reg.numbers of vehicles that I have seen tipping to the Police.Still,it will lead to a reduction of eyesores in your beautiful area.
