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!

A Dumbarton community group is calling for people to join a series of “balsam bashes” this summer. Full story, and for the rest of our e-edition, CLICK HERE: tinyurl.com/2em75p9b

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! #litterpicking #litterfree #ReportingLitter #keepbritaintidy #SpringCleanScotland #LeaveNoTrace

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 ♻️

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

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 ♻️

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. Get in touch if you need more info ℹ️

Has anyone done this or thinking of giving it a try?

Looks like it will at least stay dry for today’s pick. See you at Lidl at 10:30 🕥

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. #litterpicking #litter #litterfree #ReportingLitter #keepbritaintidy #SpringCleanScotland #LeaveNoTrace #Cleanup #KeepScotlandclean

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 🛟

🧛🎃 Halloween is scary enough, don't let litter make it even scarier! 👻💀 Have a great night trick or treating and don't forget to bin your wrappers after you've enjoyed your treats! 🍬🍭 We're watching 👀

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

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 #SpringCleanScotland #LeaveNoTrace #KeepScotlandclean #KeepScotlandtidy

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

Thanks to Alistair Ferguson for doing our social media job for us and we were still smiling at the end of it 😃
