KEEP SCOTLAND BEAUTIFUL

ROADSIDE LITTER CAMPAIGN 16-22 MARCH 2026

More than nine in ten of us think that litter on our roadsides creates a negative impression of our country. We’re proud of our country and don’t want anyone to leave with the wrong impression which is why we’re supporting Keep Scotland Beautiful’s roadside litter campaign 16-23 March, to keep our roads and verges safe, clean and litter free.

Roadside litter is not a new problem, but it is a costly one. As well as posing a real threat to Scotland’s already depleted wildlife and polluting waterways, it is also an enormous expense to the public purse through costly and dangerous clean ups.

We’re determined to play our part, and we encourage you to do the same.

Remember to always #GiveYourLitterALift or #TakeItHome to help keep Scotland beautiful.

Ends.
