'Not happy nurdlers today' - South Shields plastic clean up teams give dog bag warning
A clean up team at Littlehaven Beach has asked the public to be wary of people mixing dog mess with plastic nurdles.
An environmental group assisting in the clean up of South Tyneside beaches after a plastic spillage have shared their frustration after dog bags were included in public collections.
Residents from across South Tyneside have been invited to assist in the clean up of plastic pellets, known as nurdles, after a collision at the Port of Tyne.
However, a team of experts who have been assisting in the clean up since nurdles were first discovered on Littlehaven Beach have asked the publc to be careful what they are putting into collection piles.
A statement from the clean-up team, which is also called Nurdle, included: “If you are a volunteer, I’m guessing it’s not you, but if you do see anyone putting dog s*** in your collection. Please tell them that some poor sod (us) will have to sift nurdles out of it. Not happy nurdlers today.”
