National Litter and Flytipping Strategy Private Landowners Grant Fund

Zero Waste Scotland is administering the funding, to aid private landowners towards interventions that will prevent flytipping on private land. 

Applications are now closed, as of 24 October 2024.
The fund aims to support innovative projects that will:

• Prevent flytipping on private land
• Engage local communities
• Have social, environmental, and economic benefits
• Facilitate the reporting of flytipping and enforcement of existing penalties

For ideas and inspiration take a look at the case study below on Tay Salmon Fisheries who were awarded funding last year, as well as Keep Britain Tidy’s flytipping grant fund case studies.

The funding is for private landowners to prevent incidents of flytipping on their lands. 
Applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria:

• Maximum grant of £20,000
• Project location must be connected to an area of private land in Scotland
• Proposed locations must have been flytipped within the last 12 months
• Landowner based in the UK 

The fund will be managed by Zero Waste Scotland. The maximum funding which can be applied for in one application is £20,000.

The applicant will be required to fund any costs that exceed the £20,000 maximum and is responsible for ensuring that they have the available finances to continue ongoing project costs if necessary. 

Applications are now closed, as of 24 October 2024.
