The grant schemes of direct relevance are the Anti-Dumping Initiative (ADI) and the Anti Litter-Anti Graffiti Scheme (ALAGS).
The annual ADI, was introduced in 2017 to encourage a collaborative approach between local authorities, communities and other State Agencies to tackling the problem of illegal dumping. Details of funding for the years 2017 - 2020 are available at the link below. A further €3m has been allocated to the Anti-Dumping Initiative in 2021.

The anti-litter grants provided to city and county councils are utilised to fund a range of measures aimed at raising public awareness of the litter issue and promoting anti-litter and anti-graffiti activity at a local level. Allocations for the years 2017 - 2020 are set out in the table below. A further €745,000 has been allocated in 2021.
My Department is also providing an additional €5m this year to support additional litter infrastructure by local authorities in the context of the Government's emphasis on an outdoor summer.
