145 dog poo bags picked today! 145!!! Sort this out people!!! #LoveBrixham #Brixham #BeTheChange

Midday stroll, one bag collected. Items including a fork, a lighter and so many cigarette butts! #bethechange #waterhaul #brixham

An amble round the monthly dog poo bag walk this morning! A lot more general litter on the ground, filled up a full bag round the whole route. Oh and 42 dog poo bags in total. 2026 so far; January: 72 February: 24 March: 42 Creeping back up again… 👀 #cleanup #litter

Today I got absolutely drenched as once again, the weather forecast was wrong! 😂 One and a half bags collected down Laywell, Monksbridge Road and up Churston Way. #cleanup #litter

Sensitive content! Washed up amongst the thousands of micro plastics were six deceased sea birds. At least two of these were Puffins. Now even if they passed from Avian flu / recent storms - they now lay there surrounded by human rubbish. 😭 (All birds have been reported)

Amongst the findings today were 3 dog poo bags, a poppy stem (haig fund written on the plastic so pre 2011 before they merged with the british legion), a toothbrush, some lego, a plastic Starbucks stick, a mermaid’s purse entangled in fishing wire and emergency water packs!

Some of the professional photos from the other day! #bethechange

Today I was delighted to be invited back (yes I know, they wanted me back!) to the Houses of Parliament for this years Keep Britain Tidy Great British Spring Clean launch. #bethechange #volunteering #thankful

It was an earlier morning so I headed off round the monthly dog poo bag walk! So sunny and quiet 💚🌊☀️ I actually only collected half a bin bag of rubbish today - and only 24 dog poo bags!? Long may this continue please. 2026: January: 72 February: 24 #volunteering #torbay

@DebraTh17807920 Thank you!

@MePlasticSea Congratulations! Thank you for keeping our beautiful coastal path clean (including the 100s of poo bags) - all your hard work is very much appreciated!

Lovely post today! Thank you Keep Britain Tidy 💚 #volunteering #bethechange

@trinkmin I’m a keep britain tidy ambassador- but most councils do give out rolls of bags to those who litter pick!

@MePlasticSea How do you get these? I couldn't get any from my council

My GBSC bags have arrived from Keep Britain Tidy! 🎉👏 #bethechange

OH MY GOSH! SUN! 🫣☀️ Half a bag picked up round Furzeham. Nothing interesting to report. Did then take the dog out and there was already new litter on the footpath. 🙃 #bethechange #volunteer #litter

@markrowlands569 Pahahaha 🤣🤣

@MePlasticSea What has happened to me ?? I just got excited when I saw the pic of your delivery of bags 🤣

BLUE SKIES! ☀️💙 Little pootle round the neighbourhood, easily filled up a bag today. Dog poo bags, a shot glass, a roll of kitchen foil, a dressing gown belt and a full can of Pepsi max/captain Morgan mix to name a few of the items found! #cleanup #litterpick #brixham

Impromptu beach clean on the way back from town this morning before the rain came! Plenty washed up on Fishcombe - including half a dog ball, scrubbing brush and a plastic knife. #cleanup #beachclean #rubbish

@RednalNut Fingers crossed!

@MePlasticSea You'll find a bit of gold one day with a bit of luck 🙂

Headed out this morning to catch low tide at St Mary’s - managed to fill up two big bags full of rubbish. Cable ties, all sorts of plastic scraps, bottles, lightbulbs, razors, buoys, dog balls, toothbrushes, wrappers, clothing, cards, rope and a tiny bit of lego!

There have been quite a lot of landslides at St Mary’s and I plucked this out of the mud and took it home to wash. If you look closely, you can see this old wrapper has a competition that ended on the 31st October 1979! #vintagelitter #beachclean

More!

And more!
