Small grant scheme aims to tackle flytipping

[Kintyre Forum News]

A new small grant scheme has been launched this summer to help landowners and communities to deal with flytipping. The Zero Waste Scotland scheme will give small grants to help clear land of flytipped material and create long-term and innovative deterrents.

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 grant of between £500 and £10,000 from the total pot of £50,000.

The closing date for applications is 5pm on 9th September 2011. 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 468 788 / 243.
