@WOLCT @Edinburgh_CC @SustransScot @PathsforAll @KSBScotland Great work on a cold day
I found an electric kettle in the river. Was hoping to break my duck on household electrical appliances that boil water and today was the day

Highlight was the bag of toothbrushes though.

The litter needs away everywhere

Picked up two bags of grot off loch fleet nature reserve today. It’s gotta go

Cleaned up one lay-by outside Inverness which was disgusting

A small dent in the rubbish but we feel good and it looks better

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

@WOLCT @CitadelYCLeith @Edinburgh_CC @PathsforAll And four bags of grot removed from streets around Leith too

Not much rubbish to be found today which either means folk have behaved themselves or I’m not looking hard enough

Love the colours of the seating btw. Very cheerful and well done with the painting work

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

Took it easy today and enjoyed lunch on the hill

Of course there was a bag of litter picked on the way home from Tescos because I can’t walk over it!

Rode over to see if tyres gone!

Nope

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

Firework detritus removed from Easter Craiglockhart Hill this morning

Area looks great and there’s lots to see now the leaves are down

Pontoon work is moving along but wood has been delayed

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

@AlistairFergu11 @WOLCT Nice one

I love to hear what others do to clean up the places we live in; it’s energising to know that others try to improve our world too.

Thanks for sharing

(I’m still chasing council to remove the 20+ tyres I found in the city)

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

Lovely morning on Rocheid path and surrounds with @WOLCT

Managed a decent litter pick of four bin bags mostly from streets nearby

Gladdens the heart to see the river looking so lovely today

Dumped tyres not so good so have reported to council

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

Busy day on @WOLCT litter trail today
Great team work with Ian yielded 11 bin bags of grot off the streets of Longstone.

Mostly soft plastics which could get wind blown into the river

Longstone is a little bit more loved now

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

@edinhelp @Edinburgh_CC Thank you for quick response
If you need any more info let me know

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

@Edinburgh_CC could you chase up a fly tip removal request please?

Ref 101002798438

Dumped tyres reported on 30 October 2024

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

Busy time on the hill today

Clearing up a burnt out motorbike!
Cutting back overhanging branches from Lockharton a
Cleaning up the end of causeway
Removing dumped bikes
Attending geology walk

Tea time now

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

Busy afternoon with @FriendsOfECH

The pirate ship now has a mast and ships wheel

Still no Jolly Roger though. On the lookout for one

The salty dog sails once more

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

@mike56200 Yeah I came across it during a litter pick. It’s 4 miles from my house so a nice bike ride out, forty minutes of scrubbing and a very small piece of the world is a little more loved

And everyone loves a before and after pic!

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

No one wants to see this so it’s gone

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

Another two bin bags of cans and bottles removed from behind the wall beside railway line
Out of sight not out of my mind so it had to go

No pics cos forgot phone! Doh

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

Great session with @WOLCT this morning

Trawled the locale for rubbish and found four bin bags worth.

Great day for it

Found a bunch of tyres fly tipped near Warriston crematorium so have reported it

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

@WOLCT @Edinburgh_CC @SustransScot @KSBScotland And a bit of obsessive graffiti removal

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

@thevaccines

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

@thevaccines
Thanks for great night at roundhouse
Travelled from Edinburgh to see you and wetsuit blew us away as per usual
Great. See you next time

[Jim Heath @Jimanderinagain]

@EdinburghPicker Tis a familiar tale sadly. I’m still picking up picnic detritus from LNRs even though it’s such a lovely spot to hang out

We just keep on keeping on. The litterers will not prevail

Good work and well done
