Children in Gateshead have helped The Gateshead Housing Company to bin local litter problems.
The 21st St Helen's Cub Pack joined forces with employess from the housing company and Gateshead Council to make their local areas safer and cleaner.
Armed with bin bags and rubbish grabbers, the group took to the streets to clear up wrappers, boxes, cigarette butts and other litter.
The litter-pick took place in the Allerdene area of Gateshead, as part of The Great British Spring Clean.
The campaign aims to bring together people from across the country to clear up the litter that blights towns, villages, countryside and coastline.
Catherine Hopkins, Housing Manager, said: "It's great to see everyone getting involved, helping to clean up our local area.
The Great British Spring Clean is a brilliant opportunity to get people together and make a difference.
"The housing company will be working with The Scout Association to store essential equipment and the litter pick fulfils one requirement of their World Challange Badge."
