Taking Action to Prevent Litter and Flytipping in Fife

Fife Council is working in partnership with Zero Waste Scotland on a new initiative to tackle litter and flytipping and reduce its impact on the community.

Each year over 15,000 tonnes of litter are discarded in Scotland. This has a substantial impact on Scotland’s environment, economy and communities, and dealing with litter and flytipping costs more than £50 million a year in public money or around £1 million pounds per week. Our local economy and businesses also suffer from the effects of litter.
