Beach Buddies back in action

BEACH Buddies returns to the beaches this weekend with a volunteer event at Brewery Bay (Gansey Bay) meeting on Sunday morning, April 24th, at 10.30am opposite the Shore Hotel.

Every session this year has seen new volunteers take part, and new faces are always welcome and encouraged to give it a try – especially families. If you’ve not tried it before, then you can expect to get a friendly welcome, meet some like-minded people and perhaps enjoy some refreshments afterwards!
•  Beach Buddies is sponsored by FIM Capital and receives annual funding from DEFA.

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.
