Free Flytipping Training
Keep Scotland Beautiful has been contracted by Zero Waste Scotland (ZWS) to deliver 100 free training places on its Flytipping & Waste Enforcement, and Evidence, Notebooks & Statements courses during 2011-12.

Training is open to relevant employees from a number of different organisations, including local authority waste/cleansing/environment/protective service managers, litter/environmental wardens, town centre managers, other land managers, registered social landlords, the police, NFU and SEPA etc.
- The one day Flytipping & Waste Enforcement course outlines the relevant legislation; what constitutes waste and Duty of Care; case studies and best practice; and practical solutions currently being used to tackle the flytipping issue.
- The one day Evidence, Notebooks and Statements course covers the rules of evidence, obtaining statements, official notebooks, photographs and productions, reporting offenders to the Fiscal and presenting evidence in court.
