BEACH Buddies is supporting the Port Erin Beach Festival this weekend and will be there both Saturday and Sunday for a couple of hours, providing litterpickers, bags and gloves to clean the beaches and generally around Port Erin.
We will be situated at the slipway in the middle of the promenade. The weather forecast is good for the weekend, so please come along and say hello.
• Beach Buddies is sponsored by FIM Capital.
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.
