THANK YOU TO STAFF FROM STRIX

A GROUP of very keen staff from Strix battled the rain and wind and did a great job during a clean-up of South Barrule plantation, supported by Beach Buddies.
The weather wasn’t great, but it didn’t deter an enthusiastic team who found it fairly well sheltered in the plantation. At first, it looked like there might not be too much rubbish to collect, but by the end of their session they had all collected plenty of bags of rubbish that shouldn’t be there – tin cans, polystyrene container, plastic bottles, food packaging.
Maybe now it’s clean the people who throw this sort of stuff into a beautiful environment like a plantation will think twice? We hope so.
Thank you to Strix – you were a really enthusiastic bunch. Come back again any time. You all thoroughly deserved some refreshments afterwards at the wonderful “Coffee Cottage”.

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.
