Today we've launched a new campaign to remind homeowners in Scotland of their responsibility to dispose of unwanted items appropriately.

Our flytipping campaign is focused on giving householders clear, practical information about their responsibilities and the consequences of flytipping.

Heather McLaughlin, our Campaigns Manager, said: “Flytipping is a serious crime. We understand that the majority of people who want to get rid of waste simply pay the best price for someone to remove the items - they don’t think about what happens to it and whether it ends up in the right place or just dumped.

“But the bottom line is your waste is your responsibility; 38% of people don’t know it is your responsibility to check if the person you ask to remove your waste has a license.

“We know how costly flytipping is to remove; it is not victimless, and we know how it makes people across the country feel as it ruins their communities. So next time you’re having a clear out or doing some renovation, dispose of your waste correctly yourself at a council recycling centre or ensure the person you’re paying to dispose of it has a license to do so.”

This campaign is part of our support of The Scottish Government’s National Litter and Flytipping Strategy.

You can find out more information on flytipping, including finding a reputable trader or reporting a crime, on our Community Litter Hub: https://www.keepscotlandbeautiful.org/community-litter-hub/prevent/preventing-waste/

We recently joined staff from Amey on the M74 roadside to learn more about the impact roadside litter has on our country. It was really insightful to see just how dangerous this can be and the true scale of the problem. Next month we'll be launching a new campaign to tackle this issue so keep an eye on our page for all the information.

How big an issue is roadside litter where you live?

Today is the last day of Heritage Careers Week, the Scottish heritage sector’s annual careers week led by employers and aimed at raising awareness of the wide range of careers in the historic environment.

With that in mind some of the officers from the wonderful Our Heritage, Our Future team took some time to answer questions about their path into their current heritage careers in an insightful and inspiring blog.

Last week we rounded off our Climate Action Month with an online all-ages assembly live from Alva Primary School in Clackmannanshire.

Almost 40 classes from across the country joined us as we tied in the assembly with the Scottish Government's . Throughout the month we delivered several Live Lessons, also in Gaelic, and encouraged young people across the country to take part in a challenge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Màiri McAllan MSP for Clydesdale, Cabinet Secretary for Education, Culture and Gaelic, said: “I am so pleased to hear of all the activities taking place through Climate Action Schools during Scotland’s Climate Week, and over the past month.

"I would like to say a huge thank you to all those who have taken part. You’re making a real difference in schools and communities across Scotland by learning about climate change and nature loss, and the actions we can take to help.

"By taking action and speaking with your schools, families and local communities, you are helping to create a cleaner, greener future for us all. Keep up the fantastic work!”
