Beach Buddies in Ramsey this week

BEACH Buddies will meet on Ramsey North Promenade for the first time this year on Sunday morning, August 6th at 10.30am, ending no later than 12 noon. The meeting point is the slipway opposite the rugby club.
Volunteers have numerous choices as to where to pick up litter – go south or north on the beach, or take a walk around the Mooragh Park. There is also the option to have coffee afterwards in the Mooragh Park Costa or Conor’s lake cafe.
•  Special note: The bird nesting season is nearly over, and officially ends on August 31st. Volunteers are reminded that they should be aware that some birds may still be nesting and to take special care. Dogs must be on a lead at all times, until the end of August.
•  Beach Buddies is sponsored by FIM Capital and receives annual funding from DEFA. However, we still require donations to maintain our work across the Isle of Man. Donations are very much appreciated and can be made via our QR code (see below).

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.
