Friends for Pets spent an hour in Axbridge clearing The Furlong, Chestnut Avenue as well as Church and Back Lane on Saturday.
A spokesman for the group said: "We think it's sad to see so many poorly discarded bags found on footpaths and playing fields in the town.
"People may think it's OK to not throw away a dog poo, but this can very quickly turn into the amount it did.
"It would be great to not find any next time we run the event in Axbridge."
