    Default 1 Ton monthly average - plastic from local beaches

    Caithness Beach Cleans has just reached 12 Tons of plastic waste removed THIS year from local beaches. Although I have said that is a 1 ton monthly average in fact it isn't, as due to lockdown most of us were unable to go out to beaches. Still we made up for it once we were allowed.
    We don't do anything organised. We just ask people to weigh what they pick up and send the group a photo of the weight of plastic they have removed - we even supply scales and litter pickers to beach walkers. A fairly normal amount of picked litter is 2lb (sorry Old School here). We are a facebook group and if you would like to join us, just search for Caithness Beach Cleans.
    Some examples of plastics gathered from beaches:
