Despite huge efforts from the public, land owners, councils, canoe clubs and corporate interests over the last year, there was still debris in the river from Storm Frank and litter also easily gathers in rivers and ends up on the banks.
The Clean Up Aberdeen team picked litter off the banks of the river and put it into canoes to be taken away and sorted.
