Aberdeen International Airport staff and business partners rolled up their sleeves collecting 14 bags at a litter pick.
There were 11 members of staff who volunteered their time to help clean the nearby River Don in Dyce.
Affectionately dubbed the ABZ Clean Up Crew more than two hours was spent clearing rubbish in the area.
Business partners NATs and Travelex also joined the ABZ Clean Up Crew on Wednesday.
Some unusual items collected by the volunteers included bits of carpet, a slab of polystyrene, a single Nike trainer, a Simpsons DVD wrapped in shorts and a pregnancy test.
Gavin Morrison, sustainability coordinator at Aberdeen International Airport, said: “I want to thank everyone who gave up the time during a busy work day to be involved with our ABZ Clean Up Crew.
“At the end of the last year we asked our staff and business partners if this was the sort of initiative they’d like to be a part of and it was wonderful to see their response.
“The airport has been part of this local community since 1934 and we are happy we could help give back in this small way.
“We hope we will be able to do similar initiatives throughout the year and I urge anyone with similar initiatives that we can possibly support to get in touch.”
The litter pick has been organised in conjunction with Keep Scotland Beautiful’s 2023 Spring Clean taking place between March 17-April 17.
Evidence shows communities benefit from coming together to improve their local environments and last year more than 62,000 people the length and breadth of Scotland participated in the charity’s annual Clean Up Scotland campaign - helping to remove more than 615 tonnes of litter.
Paul Wallace, Campaigns and Innovation Manager at Keep Scotland Beautiful said, “We’d like to say a massive thank you to all those who took part in the litter pick and played their part in making a positive difference to the community.
“Many of us are angry that we must come together to tackle litter in the first place, but we know that cleaner places are less likely to be littered again, so it is an important for us all to keep cleaning up while we work on the longer term behaviour change which is so badly needed.”
