2025 BEACH BUDDIES RESTART DELAYED A WEEK

THE weather forecast for this coming weekend is for heavy rain and potentially icy roads and sleet or snow. Our priority is safety for everyone and we don’t want to encourage anyone to be driving in such conditions, so we will not have an event this weekend. The intention is to host our first volunteer event of 2025 in Port Erin on Sunday January 12th. Details coming during the week. We will be splitting volunteers between the beach area and Spaldrick, keeping in mind that Spaldrick has very steep steps and isn’t suitable for everyone, whereas the beach area has very easy access.
•  Beach Buddies is sponsored by the wonderful FIM Capital.

Collection Bins

Beach Buddies provides, manages and maintains a network of 50+ collection bins around the island to encourage and enable members of the public to collect and safely dispose of beach rubbish. Our team visits each of the bins each week or fortnight depending on location and season to empty the contents and ensure the bin is in good order. We recycle what we can and depose of the remainder at the Energy From Waste facility. Last year we deposited over 20 tonnes of rubbish in this way. This is at the core of operation as well as being the most intensive of our activities.
