Successful Litter Pick on Broughty Ferry Beach

Litter Pick on Broughty Ferry Beach Friday 9 May 2014
At lunch time today I joined a group of volunteers undertaking a litter pick on the Broughty Ferry sandy beach. We focused our attention on the stretch of beach running from the Dighty Burn towards Broughty Ferry Castle.

Whilst the volume of rubbish we collected over a period of an hour looks considerable, some of the waste materials appeared to have come from the weather damaged sand dunes. When the Esplanade was widened many years ago, some of the rubble that was deposited apparently contained rubbish.

Other rubbish collected included glass and plastic drinks bottles which had been carelessly left on the beach or thrown iinto the water and washed up on our beach.
