From humble beginnings back in 2009 we now pick litter from over 275 miles of verges in the eastern end of the #breconbeacons. Choosing hope over despair, unity of purpose over expectation and great results! facebook.com/itvcoastandcounโฆ

More crap cleared from our hedges and verges. Taking advantage of a local road closure.
Impressive historical finds too. #WombleArmy

The early bird catches the worm - or in this case, 4 bags full of litter from the undergrowth near the gasworks in #Tonbridge. We're clearly not the only ones visiting this patch (including a disgusting fly-tipper) but maybe we are the only ones leaving it tidier than we find it?

@TMBC_Kent - we've reported the fly tip on your online form, but can't ever upload photos. Here are some pictures that show what's there (and how far into the bushes it goes) #flytipping

More than 85 pieces of litter dropped beside this small stretch of road. We only cleared this spot at the end of September. Littlest Litter Kicker losing hope...

Today was #WorldKindnessDay so we decided to be kind to the ocean and do another beach clean as part of Ella's Beach Clean Challenge
Charity fundraiser closes at end of November
Today we removed 415kg of ropes and net which hopefully will never kill wildlife or see the sea again โ at Scotland, United Kingdom

This week's #LitterHero is Max who will be beach cleaning at West Bay twice weekly for 3 months in a Gorilla costume!
This is to raise money for Max's upcoming trip to Nepal, with @RaleighIntl, to rebuild sanitation facilities following the 2015 earthquake. Best of luck Max! ๐

Thanks to everyone who came along to todayโs clean up in Bourtreehill Park. 24 bags of litter cleaned up and collected by @North_Ayrshire Streetscene team. Great to see so many new volunteers. The park is looking brilliant now #luckytolivehere #lovenorthayrshire โ at Irvine, Scotland

Singapore Road W13 looking better for having been LAGERed this afternoon by 7 of our members. Made light work of filling 50 bags and piling up the same volume of unbaggables, so we moved on to Uxbridge, Canberra and Witham Roads. Total: 62 bags rubbish; 60 bags' worth big items.
