Additional information: 

Everyone is welcome including children and dogs.

How it works:
* Listen to the mini briefing.
* Take part in the group photo (optional but helpful!)
* Borrow litter pickers or gloves.
* Get cleaning!

If you can't make it for 10am, feel free to join us anytime before 11:15 as Colas collect the bags at 12.

The aim is to remove anything man-made from the beach e.g. food wrappings, straws, cigarette ends etc etc. You'll generally find the most rubbish along the high tide mark so it's a good place to start.

Just a few words about health & safety:
* Use gloves or the pickers to pick up rubbish.
* Walk around the pier rather than under it.
* Ask a coordinator to pick up any needles for you (it's rare that we find any of these).
* Cover up any dog poo with stones rather than try to pick it up.
* Avoid the big rocks by the Pyramids as they may be slippery.
* Mind the water's edge.
* Dress warmly and wear sturdy shoes.
