Today's task was taking on the massive amount of rubbish that's thrown as people are crossing Burrfields Bridge.

We started by clearing near to the fence, then reaching in as far as we could and finally with John and Wilson climbing over the fence and throwing as much rubbish as possible out to us.

We finished with 3 bags of recycling and 5 of rubbish, not bad for just over an hour's work.

Interesting finds included a car mat, the bottom of a cone, a mobile phone holder, a "frame" and a frying pan (insert your jokes here...)

Then it was time to squeeze the rubbish into the bins then warm up and get ready for Sunday afternoon!
