Edinburgh volunteers pluck trolleys and mattresses from river in huge clean-up operation

Volunteers in Edinburgh have taken on a huge clean-up operation in the Water of Leith.

Members of the Water of Leith Conservation Trust took to social media to show just how much rubbish and items from fly tippers they found in the river.

While treating 400 giant hogweeds around the Murraryburn, the group pulled out three trolleys, car tyres, mattresses and wet wipes among other items.
