A Glasgow cider maker has launched its annual apple amnesty.
Anyone who has any spare pieces of the juicy fruit lying about in their garden is urged to get in touch with the firm.
Clydecider wants to put them to good use - in return for a batch of the sweet stuff to enjoy yourself (you could also share it with pals but only if you wanted, no one is judging anyone here).
The drink is made "lovingly" in the west end of the city and project leader John Hancox told Glasgow Live the company is committed to cooking up new plans for products which would usually go to waste.
The organisation also uses its profits to encourage the planting of more community orchards across Scotland - and offers opportunities for people to get involved in a bit of cider making too!
John added: “We make Clydecider - which is cider made lovingly in Glasgow with apples from around Glasgow and the Clyde Valley - and once again we are doing our great apple appeal. If people are drowning in apples, bring them to us and we will swap for our lovely Clydecider.
"Cider making is great fun, but it is also a great way to use up apples which would otherwise go to waste … Lots of people get involved and our aim is encourage more people to learn cider making and also get more orchards planted and looked after in Scotland.
"We certainly want any profits to go into supporting more school and community orchard planting.”
Clydecider works on a community basis - with people bringing surplus apples to the team, but they are also able to pick up from across the city.
Apples can be in any quantity - small or large - and should be ripe and in reasonable condition.
