Colmcille Area Development Group organised a community litter pick on Saturday where 38 volunteers turned out for the spring clean.
Chairman of the group Matt McGauran and the committee were delighted with the turn out and in particular the results from the morning’s work.
Two trailers and a van were packed full of litter which weighed 1,020kg - over a Tonne of waste/rubbish.
“The group met at the community centre at 10am and set out for two hours and look at what was achieved. It’s not just litter thrown out of cars but also fly tipping, bags of household rubbish, tyres, glass, beds, mattresses, bicycles etc,” said Mr McGauren.
