Highland Community Waste Partnership

Who We Are

The Highland Community Waste Partnership is led and driven by eight community groups across the Highlands, coordinated by Keep Scotland Beautiful.

We are one of the founding partners of the Highland Community Waste Partnership.

Between April 2022 and March 2025, we will be working together to reduce waste and build a movement for mor sustainable consumption in the Highlands, by working across the following three key areas of waste:

Food Waste and Composing

Share and Repair

Packaging and Single Use items

Specifically, here at Lochaber Environmental Group we will be leading on the following areas of work:

  • Home composting and reducing food waste into landfill
  • With support from Zero Waste Scotland, provide information and events to reduce food waste
  • Signposting for community composting resources
  • Working with local businesses to reduce food waste and signposting to support
  • Increase the use of pre-loved, repaired and shared goods
  • Provide signposting to advice and support on a range of waste reduction issues

In addition, we will be collaborating on a number of initiatives to help raise awareness, provide skills and know-how and change the way that we all consume, that is, buy, use and dispose of things.
