Beach Buddies heading to Ballaugh

WE are back on the beaches again this weekend, with a volunteer session on Sunday June 23rd at Ballaugh from 10.30am.

We will concentrate on the area south of the beach, as none of the nests we have seen in a survey this week are on that part of the beach.

• Beach Buddies is sponsored by FIM Capital. We rely entirely on donations to keep going. If you can help – or maybe the company you work for can help – it would be much appreciated.

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.
