Friends Of River Leven Valley pick today in the snow. 14 bags, a lifebelt, and a foldaway stool uplifted. Hardy souls we are, as it made it up to 1 degree today! #litterpicking #litter #litterfree #Cleanup #ReportingLitter #keepbritaintidy

Picked this lot the other day. Added 2 bags so 13 in total, plus all the junk and one of the 2 tyres I found. It took 4 runs and 7 km walk to get it back to a vehicle collection point on shore. Picking is the easy part! #litterpicking #litter #litterfree #Cleanup #ReportingLitter

Two long runs along shore with barrow to clear this lot. Sometimes getting it to collection point is harder than the pick itself. #litterpicking #litter #litterfree #Cleanup #ReportingLitter #keepbritaintidy

We had a very productive time at today’s @ClydesiderMedia Community Exhibition in #DalmuirBarclayChurch chatting with lots of like minded people about climate change, the environment and volunteering opportunities

Some pics from yesterday’s pick from Lidl towards the Rock, including a before and after of the bit below the car park.
Storm Ashley brought in a ton of stuff including almost an entire kitchen and another lifesaving ring 🛟

Group pick along Leven today. High tide brought a lot of plastic in. Fellow picker Bob & I got this much so far. A lifebelt too, that's number 37.

The current forecast for next Tuesday the 29th looks perfect for a litter pick from Lidl to the Rock. Why not come and join us by the council bin behind the car park at 10:30am.

If you’ve ever wondered about the origin of the word litter or why we use it in so many ways, this article could be for you ♻️

Me, too! This is the article the info came from, so fascinating merriam-webster.com/wordplay….

Had a wonderful time with the lovely @shorethingG82 #volunteers & @RSPBLochwinnoch's Ally Dowd yesterday. We cleared lots of #litter from the shore of the Clyde, did some #birdwatching & enjoyed some yummy cake 🤩 #keepscotlandbeautiful #Scotland

During a bit of respite in the storm three of us managed to collect quite a bit from the path beside the burn.
The council are aware that we’ve left stuff for them to collect ♻️

9 bags lifted from Lomondgate and Renton Bridge on the river Leven today. Two bins full after a month with dog bags. Approximately 300 dog bags lifted. Incredible!

Today we cleared the area below the walkway beside Lidl’s car park and picked along the unfinished path towards the Rock.
We were joined by a couple of new members who were welcomed with open bin bags!

Removed my 500th Earthcleanup bag of #Litter from Pittsburgh's Ohio River today. This includes over 12,500 plastic bottles, all pulled from a 2 mile section in the past 2 years.
Our behavior is downright 'Savage'

I picked shore opposite Dumbarton Castle between rivers Leven & Clyde. You don't get a nicer spot to pick!
