Today we hunted out some waterborne waste in a smart urban environment where our current featured sponsor is based - Mustard Wharf .leeds

We also had the pleasure of stopping and chatting to who was passing through and liked what we were doing!

We'll add this plastic bottle to more than a THOUSAND we've removed so far from the waterway in Leeds city centre, on our weekly missions to remove floating debris.

🎉 We did it, Leeds! 🎉

Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve smashed our fundraising target, raising over £45,000 to keep WasteShark running and ramp up efforts with an extra clean-up day each week!

That’s 4,500 more litres of waste we’ll be pulling from our waterways in 2025–26. Huge thanks to every donor, sponsor, and supporter who have helped make this happen!

Let’s keep Leeds rivers clean, one shark at a time 🦈

Here's a recent clean up we did in Leeds 😁

The wasteshark is doing it's job of helping to keep our waterways free of rubbish.💪💪

We're super pleased to let you know that any donations to our crowdfunder are now being MATCHED by the Aviva Community Fund. Woohoo!!

To keep the wasteshark working on the water for the next 12 months we need to raise £24k.

Cleanup success! 🦈✨ Last week, our Wasteshark was hard at work at Crown Point Weir, making a real difference in our waterways. We’re excited to share the impressive results of its latest ‘feast’ on floating waste!
Our hardworking Wasteshark left the water looking fresh and clean. 🌿💧

Swipe to see the results!
