Criteria for local authorities in selecting litter awareness projects

1. Projects/activities should seek to promote greater public awareness and education in relation to litter and should, as far as possible, have a particular focus on involving schools and young people in anti-litter action and on voluntary initiatives by community and environmental groups.

2. Grants should be used, where possible, to leverage local business co-funding of anti-litter education/awareness measures.

3. The maximum grant available in any individual case may be up to 70% of the overall cost of the project, with the balance being met by way of local contribution.

4. Where a local authority is not directly involved in a project, it must be fully satisfied that the project will be satisfactorily implemented.

5. Projects should be to a high standard and should aim at establishing or replicating best practice in relation to litter education/awareness measures.

6. Projects in receipt of monies under the Local Agenda 21 Environment Partnership Fund are excluded for grant purposes.

7. Local authority staff/plant costs and projects that involve substitute financing of existing programmes are excluded for grant purposes.
