A beach cleaning station has been installed to help reduce the amount of litter left at Sully Beach.
Residents can find bags at the station, located in the car park behind Sully School, next to the Pavillion Building.
Litter-clearers can fill the bags with five items of litter from the beach, and deposit at the bin next to the beach clean station, or dispose of them at home.
The project, which began a year ago but was delayed by lockdown, was organised by Sully Village Group .
Hannah Bevmoh, chair of Sully Village Group, said: "It was a good opportunity to work with Sully School and the wider community.
"We hope it will encourage people to collect a few items of litter whilst out walking.
"Sully Community is very supportive in keeping our village litter-free and is becoming increasingly environmentally aware."
The community group applied for a grant from Welsh Water and received £500 to cover the cost of the station, the installation, and a supply of bags.
Sully Primary School student Ffion Judd, 10, is on the school Eco-Council and designed the picture for the station.
Swanbridge Property Maintenance sponsored the project by installing the station for free, and Beacon Printers created all artwork and signage by way of sponsorship.
