Litter Prevention Plan
The litter prevention plan is a commitment by Shetland Islands Council and its partners to work towards a litter free Shetland. The highest standards of cleanliness will contribute to maintaining Shetland's pristine environment as an area of outstanding beauty which can be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
The plan was published in 2002 and is due to be reviewed in 2007. The Council is currently waiting for guidance from the Scottish Executive before the review is carried out.
Area Waste Plan
The first Area Waste Plan for Orkney and Shetland was prepared by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and published in 2003. It has been integrated with Scotland's ten other Area Waste Plans to provide a National Waste Plan.
The plan was developed to improve waste management in Orkney and Shetland and provides a framework for the next twenty years.
Toward a Greener Shetland
Towards a Greener Shetland presents the Community Planning Board’s strategy to protect and enhance Shetland’s environment, to promote sustainable social and economic benefits from the environment for the local community, and thus improve quality of life in Shetland.
