· 67 bags of litter
· Various car parts
· 3 tyres
· Oil drum
· Radiator
· TV

Councillor Sarah-Jayne Holland, Portfolio Holder for Community and Regulatory Services, said: "The annual Riseley Spring Clean event is always well supported and this year was no different with volunteers of all ages coming out to help improve the village.
"There was a great atmosphere on the day which helped everyone to collect 67 bags of litter as well as other strange pieces, including car parts and a plastic dog basket!
"Further litter picks will be taking place throughout the summer across Bedford Borough and I hope they will continue to be well supported."
