It'll probably be like this all over the country: lots of debris in the sea from boats, and #litter blown into the water from land. This was yesterday afternoon on Oban. How does this get dealt with? Likely the answer is - not... #StormBoelo – at Oban, Scotland

A world of difference between yesterday afternoon & today! ☔ Glad I had the opportunity to go for a walk up #CorstorphineHill 🌳 Don't worry folks! I cleared your #litter! You can't expect thieves to be considerate right... 🚯 – at Edinburgh, Scotland

I joined @pjayvee38 because she said along the Maybury Road needed #litter-picking. She wasn't wrong! 🫣 Loads of packaging among the leaves & piles of polystyrene, courtacy of the builders of West Craig's... 🔨🪚🫤 3 hours = 3 bags for me. #OneMillionBags Oct: 11 - 2026: 117 – at Edinburgh, Scotland

I walked a route I'd not walked in a long time. Someone must be #litter-picking there... 🤔 😃👍🏼💚 Still 6 kg collected along the way. Reported some fly-tipping. Noticed the council hasn't touched the dog poo tree 🐶 💩 (I did ask...) #OneMillionBags Oct: 8 - 2026: 114 – at Edinburgh, Scotland

A bag of #litter off #CorstorphineHill 🌳 including some things you wouldn't necessarily expect in a woodland... Said 'hello' to the neighbours 👋🏼 The bottle needs a clean-up to see the text on it 🧽 #OneMillionBags Oct: 7 - 2026: 113 – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Where can you walk 23,000 steps and barely find any #litter? Water of Leith Walkway! 💚 I only filled a bag because I carried on around Balerno. A splendid day for it too ☀️ – at Currie, Scotland

So far this morning along the Water of Leith it's remarkably free of #litter 👍🏼 There's always someone of course... 🍕🍺 ...so doing my bit to keep it tidy 💚 Had to support the visitors centre, obviously ☕ 🍰 – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Another fabulous turn out for today's session around Balgreen! We swept leaves and trimmed vegetation from paths, planted and weeded in the Community Garden, weeded the bridges over to Murrayfield, and coppiced willow to use in other projects. Litter picking too obviously!

I spotted this... 'thing' on my way down the road today and just went back by car to collect it. What is it? I know it's rather heavy: 21 kg! 🏋🏼‍♂️ Some kind of spool... 🤔 An odd thing to dump over a wall into a wooded area 🌳 – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Someone experimenting with this green carpet... It's not artificial grass it seems... What happens when we leave this to rot outside for long enough? 🙄 Dear lord... 😖 #Litter – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Wow - it's a bit blustery here! 💨🍃 Not easy for picking #litter & very tedious too, going through bushes & raking through piles of leaves to collect those little corners from snack packaging... Took the opportunity to clean up around the schools (again) while they're shut. – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Very clean & #litter-free in the Barnton woods apart from closer to the high school 🙄 I think we've got #ClermistonLitterati to thank for that 🙏🏼 @pjayvee38 may know about it 😉 Anyone interested in bike bags, a basketball or a toy gun? A football already found a new home ⚽ – at Edinburgh, Scotland

I was only away for 10 days! 2 hours & 45 minutes later, the main road nearby looks decent again. Almost dinner time. Did somebody say Just Eat? 🙃 – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Ever seen these shelters people have built on beaches? They'll be good to stop you getting covered in sand when it's windy. But, you need to do a #litter-pick first, and then you wonder why there's a funny smell... – at Arrecife, Spain

It doesn't seem to matter where you are... ...there's always #litter hiding somewhere It's rather hot here so I waited 'til late in the day. Plastic bottles, cigarette butts, cans, cigarette butts, cigarette packets, cigarette butts... 🫩 #LWYL! – at Arrecife, Spain

Last year on this stretch of beach I found way more #litter than now. I'm hoping someone else got the bug! 🤞🏼 – at Arrecife, Spain

Salí a dar un paseo temprano por la mañana, pero a las nueve y media ya estaba sudando y empezaba a pasar calor. Me gusta pensar que cumplí con mi parte al llenar tres bolsas de basura y una caja que también encontré. Después de ducharme, ¡es hora de desayunar! #Litter... 🙄 – at Canary Islands, Spain
