On Saturday afternoon I joined nine other volunteers undertaking the litter pick organised by Broughty Ferry in Bloom. This was their contribution to the one week Festival of Volunteering in Dundee running between Saturday 1st and Friday 7th June 2013.

The organisers supplied protective gloves, waste sacks, litter picks and fluorescent safety vests which made the job easier and less messy. 

Walking along the tide line we collected waste that had been discarded on the beach or washed up with the tide. The largest items we found included a section of interlocking site fencing and a car battery. As you can see in the picture our haul filled more than a few sacks.
