Since the campaign was launched in April, there has been a wealth of additional clean-ups involving East Dunbartonshire Council officers and dozens of enthusiastic volunteers.

Earlier this month, operatives from the council’s Greenspace and Streetscene team, along with almost 50 volunteers donned their gloves and collected bottles, cans and other litter from Campsie Glen. In addition, various bulk items were removed including three folding camping chairs, an office revolving chair as well as a car tyre.
