Plastic Free Colchester

@LegoLostAtSea Maybe a single use thumb screw used in the building trade?

@PlasticFreeCol Yes, I think they have been snapped off something. The straight edge looks broken.

Another mystery object. Does anyone recognise these? Beachcombers regularly find them among the plastic on the strandline. We think we might know what they're from but are not 100% sure so any suggestions welcome. The one on the left is an inch high.

Just in case you know anyone who has a missing dog, bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…, well done to The Police. The sentences for dog theft (basically an irreplaceable member of your family) should be up there with kidnapping with intention to extort. Got to make dog theft a massive crime!

@EssexWeather Better get more bird food out for the poor birdies 🥺

Why haven't they done this years ago #plasticfree #wastage

@LegoLostAtSea Is that the green 'frog' from the Dunelm set?

The telltale sign of a beachcomber’s house...

Recycling all those empty ink cartridges you have used whilst working from home Community Ink Bins across #Colchester and further into #Essex @PlasticFreeCol @bizessex

For the last two months we’ve picked these cheap, discarded polystyrene bodyboards up every day. Most snap the first time they are used. The fragments litter the strandline, stick to the surfaces of caves and are blown through the dunes.

@MesolithicMe @LegoLostAtSea I think that's 1980.

@LegoLostAtSea Looks like there's also a catalogue or batch number on it. And the words 'Battys ?BO'.

Another mystery object, this time wooden. We found it while picking plastic out of the water and only noticed the writing later. It doesn't float. Does anyone know what it might be from? It's 3cm in diameter.

@LegoLostAtSea @llykaios @Blobbyblue I wonder if the rest of the car is still out there somewhere.

Amazing! Within minutes of @llykaios asking for help identifying the toy figure she'd found, @Blobbyblue said it was the passenger with a gun that sits next to James Bond in the Corgi James Bond Aston Martin toy car... twitter.com/llykaios/statu…

Do you know what happened to all your childhood toys? Are they still out there, somewhere? All these were found on Cornish beaches.

@MarkGoacher Let's hope residents don't cut down all their trees and install astroturf in response. Why don't the council charge the same amount for either a wheelie bin or a home composter, and at least give people a choice?

The Council want to replace the white sacks on the left with big brown wheelie bins for garden waste - £50 a year. Which would you prefer? Please let me know.

Litter picking on and around a tidal river is always going to be tricky, but the escalating situation and the winds playing havoc again (3rd time). The river clean at the Hythe this weekend is unfortunately called off. @River_Care @EssexRiversHub @PlasticFreeCol

Next week is the start of the #GreatBritishSpringClean there's a river clean at King Edward Quay, Hythe, Colchester on the 21st. The bankside isn't organised as the main clean is on the river, but I'll be there if anyone wants to come along 9:30 start. @River_Care @PlasticFreeCol

Thank you @WayneKoda 🙏 💚🗑️🚮 amazing job 🙂

Today our #UKLitterpick took us from Maldon to Tollsbury. There's a slight litter trail as you come out of Maldon, but the Industrial Estate and a few bankings on the river could certainly do with a big #cleanup there 😕 Next big stop on our #awarnesswalk will be Colchester

Very much looking forward to this exciting event @PlasticFreeCol @Colchesterviews

Hey @BulldogSkincare we love this bamboo shaving soap dish (and the soap within)! What we would also really love is to buy #refills for it. Is this possible? #plasticfree

Sorry but I lost it

Visited Silo in #Maldon this morning, great little shop for cleaning and food refills #plasticfree
