From yesterday - we totalled 218 bags of rubbish, tipped garden waste and invasive species as well as huge pile of dumped items (TV, small mattress, roll of carpet, animal hutch, stack of garden chairs…)I look forward to trying to spot myself on the tv later this year! #rubbish

Today I met Stacey Dooley!
I joined the amazing El & Ash at Clean Our Patch CIC cleaning up some neglected woodlands. With the BBC and tonnes of equally amazing volunteers, it was a full day of hard work and lots of smiles.

@mike56200 How strange!

Great to meet up with the guys from Paddle UK and chat about the Big Paddle Cleanup! Our June event coincides with the SUP English Riviera Festival at the end of the month! 🌊🌊🌊

Beautiful walk this morning before it got too hot! Did the monthly dog poo bag walk. Half a bag of rubbish collected, lots of people around but not crazy amounts of rubbish! 22 dog poo bags binned today plus 12 from a walk earlier in the month equals 34 this month! #bethechange

Lovely sunny clean up with Torbay Cleaner Coasts this morning at 3 beaches and then a rather hot and sweaty coast path litter-picking walk back home to Brixham! 🥵💙 #Devon #Cleanup #BankHol

A blister pack recycling scheme is coming to Brixham! 🚨
In collaboration with Prospect Brixham, we are bringing a new recycling scheme to the town!
We are working with the company My Group who recycle every bit of the product; foil, plastic and any residual medication waste!

What is the weather doing?!

From lovely sun to hail and wind in 2 minutes!

I did manage to get half a bag of rubbish with my Waterhaul picker before running home for cover! 😂🌧️

@RednalNut Just a few feathers! 😂

[Me&ThePlasticSea @MePlasticSea]

After a morning soft launching Brixham’s new blister pack recycling scheme (more info to come!) I took myself off for a walk. One full bag of litter later - lots of rubbish that had clearly been tossed out of vehicle windows, one dressing gown(?) and a fairy, and I’m back home.

[Me&ThePlasticSea @MePlasticSea]

What a beautiful day! 🌞🌞🌞

So happy the sun is back!

Today I went round the usual dog poo bag walk from Brixham to Broadsands and back in a loop. I was super pleased as only picked up half a bag of litter and only 19 dog poo bags! #litter #torbay

[Me&ThePlasticSea @MePlasticSea]

Today whilst out, I picked up a tied up crisp packet that was in the mud where a tree had de-rooted.
Took it home and wow, it’s from 1997! And you could win a giveaway to win a golden art attack fiddler 👀🙈
Thanks PickWalks for the art attack image! #litter #vintage #rubbish

[Me&ThePlasticSea @MePlasticSea]

Well the weather finally made its mind up on sunshine, so I finally managed to get outside!
One full bag collected around Northfields Industrial Estate and a few surrounding roads. Plenty of industry waste and takeaway food packaging. Oh and dog poo bags, of course! #litterpick

[Me&ThePlasticSea @MePlasticSea]

A pootle round the neighbourhood. One bag filled. Plenty of ‘sunny weather’ type litter. And loads of cigarette butts. #litter #ourplanet

[Me&ThePlasticSea @MePlasticSea]

So I was in the Metro newspaper yesterday with some of my fellow Keep Britain Tidy litter heroes! 💚 #litter #bethechange

[Me&ThePlasticSea @MePlasticSea]

Mega chuffed I finally have my little printers tray on my wall with some of my favourite finds in!

(Excluding the little Caganer from Barcelona!) #beachfinds #litter #treasure

[Me&ThePlasticSea @MePlasticSea]

Two cleans today. One at Goodrington with 16 volunteers helping remove the litter from the beaches and then a walk along the coast path back home. Two great finds, smarties lid and an army figure! #cleanup #litter #torbay

[Me&ThePlasticSea @MePlasticSea]

Many plastic bottles, dog poo bags and pieces of polystyrene. Nerf gun bullets, half a flip phone, a party popper, a doll’s mug, a slice of a monster munch packet from 1985 as I have a similar one in my collection and just as we were finishing, another smartie lid, H for Hannah!

[Me&ThePlasticSea @MePlasticSea]

The claw! Those are mattresses stuck on the grabbers by the way! #waste #rubbish #plymouth
