Dedicated volunteers have helped to collect over 200 bags of litter around Mauchline.
As part of the Mauchline big spring clean exercise, locals and trustees from Centre Stane were out and about over the weekend to give the town and clean-up.
Around 37 hearty volunteers helped to collect 194 bags of litter on Saturday, along with TVs, flooring, bikes, and other household items.
Some of the volunteers didn't even live in the town.
The total added to over 50 bags collected on Friday evening, as councillor William Lennox, also a Centre Stane trustee, was helped out by Duke of Edinburgh youth volunteers and other locals.
Centre Stane paid thanks to East Ayrshire Community pay back team, committee members from Mauchline United AFC, Mauchline Action Group, Mauchline Community Council, Cllr William Lennox and East Ayrshire Council.
