BRAVE volunteers battled through four seasons in one day to collect nearly 200 bags of rubbish.
The clean up, organised by Mauchline Community Association, saw 30 volunteers take to the streets and help tidy up the town.
The day saw every kind of weather imaginable, but it didn't dampen the spirits of the hardy litter pickers.
After the litter pick, volunteers enjoy a hot roll and a drink, with supplies donated by Corrie Mains and Lodge St David (Tarbolton) Mauchline 133.
Thanking those that helped out, Mauchline Community Association chair Alan Cook said: "Together, we collected an amazing 180 plus bags of rubbish from across our village and surrounding countryside. What a difference you’ve made.
"A very special shout out goes to our amazing Duke of Edinburgh volunteer Lucy, who took the lead in organising this event.
"There was so much hard work done behind the scenes – from arranging equipment and planning routes to promoting the day – and it truly paid off."
He added: "Thank you also to Margaret for keeping everyone going with delicious hot rolls and coffee when volunteers returned – very well deserved.
"We’re also incredibly grateful for the generous donations from Lodge St David (Tarbolton) Mauchline 133 for the sausage and Corrie Mains for the eggs.
"It’s moments like this that show the true strength of our community.
"Proud of every single one of you for coming together and making a real difference."
