Over 40 kilograms of waste was collected by volunteers during a recent Helensburgh beach clean.

A 12-volt battery casing, old broken glass, a no parking sign, and chipboards were also found.

The group managed to fill 21 three-gallon buckets with waste - which equates to around 300 litres.

The litter was removed by David Howie who donated his skip for use on the day.
