BEACH Buddies will be heading to the northwest coast this weekend with an event for volunteers at Sartfield, Jurby on Sunday, May 11th. It starts as usual at 10.30am and finishes at 12 noon. New faces will be made particularly welcome.
If you’re planning to find somewhere afterwards for coffee, cakes or a really nice meal then we highly recommend the Guard House at Jurby Airfield, just a short distance from this weekend’s beach cleaning venue.
•. 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.
