Aberdeen vounteers collected hundreds of bags of litter during a 24-hour blitz on rubbish.
The Glitterpick, organised by the city council’s environmental team, aimed to make the city sparkle more in the summer months.
Despite typical Scottish weather, ranging from glorious sunshine to heavy downpours, the teams managed all 24 hours at 24 different locations.
By the end they had filled about 300 black bin bags full of rubbish.
Neil Cooney, convener of communities, housing and infrastructure, said: “It was a great day although the people taking part got soaked at the beginning and the end.
“The Glitterpick was fantastic as it pulled lots of people together from different groups all over the city helping to tidy up their local community.
“Everyone has a responsibility not to drop litter and put rubbish into the proper recycling bins to ensuring Aberdeen is kept clean and green and when people make a bit extra effort, you can see the effect this has.”
Mr Cooney said everyone could make a difference to the appearance of the city by simply putting rubbish into a bin, rather than expecting someone else to do it.
He added: “The Glitterpick made such a big difference to lots of communities across the city so well done to everyone who took part.”
Groups taking part included Aberdeen Inspired, different teams from the council’s environmental service, Powis residents, Friends of Seaton Park, Oldmachar Academy, Bridge of Don Academy, Braehead Primary, Kittybrewster Primary, Hanover Primary, Tillydrone Community Flat, Riverbank School, Northfield Academy, Hazlehead Primary, Airyhall Primary, AUSA, Friends of Union Terrace Gardens, Marine Lab, DolphinWatch, Aberdeen Boat Club, Ruthrieston Residents’ Association, Friends of Duthie Park, and Friends of Aberdeen Beach.
