A small group of volunteers from the Friends of Burnham Beach spent a productive two hours removing rubbish from the banks of the River Brue at the weekend.
These photos show the before and after scenes – and the results of the team in clearing away plastic litter washed up along the banks.
A spokeswoman says: “As well as masses of litter and plastic, the group retrieved a dustbin, which will be upcycled for use as a water butt, a bollard, several bread baskets, an enormous and very heavy pallet, several buckets and a wheel and tyre!”
“The question still remains: where does all of this rubbish come from?”
“The group were encouraged by the support of passers-by and hope to resume events open to members of the public soon.”
Details of these events will be advertised here on Burnham-On-Sea.com and on Facebook.
