"In hedgerows bordering the school they found bottles, plastic bags, food wrappers, all sorts.
"One of them remarked that it's not only unpleasant to look at but can harm wild animals."
Across the district, a total of 133 volunteers collected 60 large bin bags full of rubbish, in Ashby, Coalville, Kegworth and Castle Donington.
Councillor Alison Smith said: "Hopefully, this will raise awareness of the problem of litter."
