All the 480 pupils from St Francis Xavier’s Primary turned out on Monday afternoon for the litter pick.
The P1 and P2 children did their pick up in the school grounds, while the rest of the school tackled Merchiston Avenue, Sunnyside playing fields and part of Ronades Road.
They were joined by staff and around 20 parent helpers.

Principal teacher Laura McQuade said: "It’s very encouraging to see the reduction in litter in the area around the school. Well done to everyone who took part.”
