Douglas residents are being encouraged to roll up their sleeves and get involved in an effort to clean up their town.
Volunteers are needed to take part in the Big Tidy Up, organised by Keep Britain Tidy and taking place on October 17 and 18.
As well as the public, borough council staff, council members and Mayor Michael Gelling will be taking part.
Council leader David Christian wants people or groups to clean areas which don't normally get much attention:
