About Us

Waste Aware Scotland has a number of ongoing, core activities.

National waste prevention campaigns
We are currently running a number of campaigns aimed at reducing waste. Campaigns include Love Food Hate Waste, Home Composting, the Positive Package and Stop The Drop.

National information provision
We provide the public with information about waste using a range of tools including the Sort It website, Ezines and an email enquiry facility.

National surveys
We conduct national surveys to assess current public attitudes towards waste and reduce, reuse and recycle. These surveys form the basis of the Waste Aware campaign strategies.

Campaign resources
We provide local authorities and community groups with a range of resources to help them to run their own Waste Aware campaigns. Resources can be obtained from the Resources and Publications section of the website.

Sector specific campaigns
We also host a number of websites that aim to support a range of different sectors to raise waste awareness and increase waste reduction, reuse and recycling. Sites include: Waste Aware Business and Waste Aware Schools.
