Beach Buddies heading to Point of Ayre

BEACH Buddies will be heading to the Point of Ayre on Sunday (February 28th) meeting at 10.30am on the northern side of the main lighthouse.

 

Please be aware that the track alongside the lighthouse is not suitable for anyone in a low-lying flash vehicle like a Ferrari, so it might be best to park close to the BB bin close to the Winkie Lighthouse.!!!

Last weekend was a record-breaker when 117 people joined in on Douglas beach, boosted by the team from Plastic Busters. We will be organising more events with them in the future. Our picture shows part of the big team that took part.

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.
