Volunteers took nearly two tonnes of rubbish from Lake Geneva over the weekend.

Organised by local diving groups, the shameful hoard was left on the banks at the Bains de Paquis. 

Fished from the waters were hundreds of plastic bottles, cans, glass as well as phones, cameras, bikes and lighters.

The divers also brought up 136 surgical masks. 

It’s the 29th year divers have organised the clean-up.
