The Oslo beach clean-up organised by Port Shepstone Rotary Club was a resounding success.
Dee Dickens, whose portfolio for the club is environment, said they were amazed by the wonderful turn-out.
A total of 57 learners plus a whole lot of adults took to the beach kitted with gloves and filled 32 bin bags with litter.

Four schools sent learners, namely Marburg Secondary, Creston College, Port Shepstone High and Port Shepstone Secondary.
“We are so grateful to all the parents, teachers, and learners who helped,” said Dee.
Thuli Machi, who runs a recycling initiative, only took plastic bottles for recycling, which filled the back of her bakkie.
