Much of the rubbish includes everyday waste, such as plastic packaging, bottles, cans, polystyrene and takeaway rubbish.
But over the years, volunteers have fished out some unusual items, such as a Nespresso capsules, alcohol bottles, plastic cones, clothing – including thermals still in their packaging – and even a packet of butcher’s tripe mix.
One particularly unusual find was a Marathon-branded chocolate wrapper – the UK name for Snickers until 1990 – found during a clean-up several years ago.
Reflecting on the anniversary, Juyon said: “There were just five of us at that first clean-up in 2016.
“I stepped away from running the project several years ago, so seeing it reach its tenth birthday is quite amazing.
“For me, it really demonstrates the power of community.”
