Scotland’s first National Litter Strategy “Towards a Litter-Free Scotland: A Strategic Approach to Higher Quality Local Environments” was published in 2014. A review of this strategy and the activity that took place as a result, was completed in 2019. The review found that whilst significant progress had been made, litter and fly tipping still posed significant challenges.6. In March 2020, it was announced that this strategy would be refreshed as a National Litter and Fly tipping Strategy, recognising that these are separate issues and to allow a tailored approach to be taken to each. A public consultation on aims, objectives and potential actions for this new strategy was published on 13 December 2021 and will run until 31 March 2022.
