AT LEAST 500 disposable vapes were thrown away on a beach last week amid the scorching weather, causing a litter nightmare and threatening marine life.
Litter-pickers collected 150 discarded e-cigs in just 24 hours over the weekend at Irvine Beach in Ayrshire.
The shocking scale of single-use vapes litter at the shoreline - on the same week it scooped a prestigious top beach award-has devastated residents and was met with outrage by campaigners.
They said it reinforced the call repeatedly made by the Record through our Bin The Vapes campaign to outlaw these polluting disposable gadgets.
Clean-up teams, including volunteers and council workers, hauled huge volumes of rubbish off the beach on Sunday including drinks containers, clothing and more than 100 towels.
One volunteer group, the Irvine Clean Up Crew, took away 78 bags of litter as beachgoers left a mess.
