Sand-tastic effort - Community cleans up Teignmouth Beach—and finds £10!

The clean up aimed to remove harmful litter and promote pride in the local area. Armed with gloves, pickers, and bags, the group covered large stretches of Teignmouth’s beach and walkways—collecting plastics, food wrappers, cigarette butts, that not only is unsightly but also poses harm to both wildlife and beach users.

Whilst taking the time to separate out the rubbish into separate buckets ready for recycling the volunteers even discovered a £10 note among the litter, a small reward for their community work!

Brett Sinclair, Senior Field Sales Executive for SUEZ, who organised the event with Seetec said, “We’re really proud of the community engagement work we do, working collaborative with our customers to promote sustainability and having a positive impact on our communities is so important. I’m so pleased that Seetec volunteers were able to join us.’’

Christina Cousins, Procurement Manager for Seetec added, “Activities like this not only help our local environment but also gives a sense of pride, especially along such a beautiful coastline. We’re delighted to have been involved in such a meaningful day.”

Together, volunteers from SUEZ and Seetec collected multiple bags of litter, leaving the beach safer, cleaner and ready for residents and visitors to enjoy as the warmer months approach.
