Tuesday 23 June saw ten CleanFerry volunteers in their hi-vis jackets do battle with litter in South Queensferry tackling areas along Builyeon Road, Echline Roundabout, Inchcolm Park, The Varneys and Ferrymuir.
The team collected 13 black bin bags of rubbish, including a broken scooter that had been discarded in bushes near the Forth Road Bridge. Much of the litter consisted of food packaging, drinks cans and plastic bottles.
A reminder that Scotland's Deposit Return Scheme, due to begin in October 2027, will provide a refund on drinks cans and plastic bottles.
A special thank you must also go out to Echline Primary School P6 who recently litter picked Hawes Beach, and to the 4th South Queensferry Rainbows, who helped litter pick The Loan/Scotmid car park. Together, these children collected seven black bags of litter.
Well done to everyone involved. Your efforts are helping to keep South Queensferry a cleaner, greener and more welcoming place for locals, visitors and wildlife alike.
