This years event is going to be held 10:15 to 13:00 on Sunday 22nd October 2023.
The Clean Up: Today’s Clean up is going to be located on a small section of the Water of Leith around the Leith area of Edinburgh.
The meeting point and parking is going to be at N 55° 58.540 W 003° 10.647. There is roadside parking if there isn't enough room.
Arrival time will be 10:15 and at 10:30 there will be a Health & Safety brief done by the Water of Leith Conservation Trust. You will be expected to sign a disclaimer stating that you have received and understood the brief!
Straight after the brief we will get started on cleaning up the river and its banks.
Litter picking the local park and streets to stop waste getting into the river
This should take no more than 2.5 hours (dependant on numbers that turn up).
Bin bags, gloves, litter pickers will all be supplied. If you have got your own gloves, then please feel free to bring them along.
The removal of the rubbish will be organised by the conservation trust.
The terrain level for the day will be set at what you want it to be, if you want 1 star then you can clear the rubbish along the path (great for the kids).
Sadly the water at this stretch is too deep for wading, but grappling hooks and a magnet for retrieving items will be supplied for the big kids.
