The university provided nine additional bins to encourage students to tidy up after the event, and made a donation to the Fife Coastal and Countryside Trust in recognition of their support.

Staff and students volunteered their help from 4-5.30am, before heading the Union for a free breakfast. A second-wave of university volunteers hit the beach later, using metal-detectors to check bonfire sites for nails and broken glass.
