HELPING TO CLEAN UP OUR COAST AND COUNTRYSIDE
Today, I'm reviewing a beach clean bag from www.beachcleanbag.co.uk which I tested out on at breezy afternoon on Bossington beach in Porlock Bay.
The bag is produced in a heavyweight woven polypropylene fabric making it one of the safest plastics to use and manufactured in the UK. The large bag is ideal for litter picks, especially where there is plenty of rubbish to collect. The first advantage I found was where starting my beach clean on a windy location, a plastic sack is often difficult to use and when using a hoop, I sometimes find the wind can blow lightweight items e.g. crisp packets out of the sack. This bag has the advantage of having velcro fixings and as you can see in the centre picture, you can restrict the opening. I often find fishing line tangled up in huge clumps of seaweed and have to put my litter picking equipment down to remove the line from the seaweed whereas using this bag, I only have to tuck the litter picker under my arm to do it and don't need to worry about litter coming out of the bag. The other big advantage of this bag is the shoulder strap which takes the strain off the arm when carrying large amounts of litter. I often do beach cleans where I find large items which are difficult to carry along with a sack or two of rubbish so the shoulder strap makes this much easier. There are small straps on either side of the bag to carry it instead of using the shoulder strap and for lifting the bag into the boot of the car. I would definately recommend this bag to anyone out on litter picks and intending sorting the litter for recycling afterwards. The price of the bag is around £14.00 from Amazon but can be ordered direct for groups looking for a quantity discount from as little as £8.70 each.
