Plogging Scotland

Plogging - a green fitness craze born in Sweden - involves collecting litter while out running. We are trying to make a difference by cleaning up Scotland.

@EastAyrshire this is so disappointing that the rubbish that was cleaned on Sunday in Howard Park been scattered back in river 😡

What did you do on your Sunday afternoon Heather? Oh I just decided to wade through the river in the Howard Park and pull some trolleys out and stuff with Carolyn Hope 🤣🦆💦

Recycling area at Tesco Extra Kilmarnock. What is going on here @Tesco @EastAyrshire? This has been like this for nearly a week!!

Glorious sunshine once again for the Fit Like #Ploggers.

17 full bags in 70 minutes, and Kincorth Hill is a far cleaner place

Thanks to @aberdeencc for the bags, #plogging equipment and pick-up.

One of our members - Eleven bags of litter recovered from an area of approximately one mile outside Mauchline on Sunday. Also usually fill at least one bag daily walking round the hilltop between Kilmarnock Rd and Sorn Rd.

[Carolyn Hope (Carrie) @Carolynrae01]

Evening plog along the river. Great job @EastAyrshire for the extra bins, huge litter pick and brambles cut back. @barrydouglas81 @PlogScotland

[Active TravelHub Ayr @athubayr]

Have you heard of #plogging? AKA Picking up litter while jogging? It seems to be getting more and more popular. Good for you and the local environment! #active #fitness #health #nature #southayrshire https://t.co/WhabChEbCp

[Plogging Scotland @PlogScotland]

New bin getting placed as we speak 😀 Well done East Ayrshire Council for listening to your community @EastAyrshire https://t.co/lpAvAFH6ca

[Plogging Scotland @PlogScotland]

@EastAyrshire do you think it would be possible to get a bin at the play area at Scott Crescent, Kilmarnock? The kids play and leave their mess. I’ve been cleaning it up best I can.
