MIKE Fitzpatrick has been out and about again on the northern shores above Ramsey and has sent this photograph of the items he has collected, showing that there is a lot of material from the fishing industry. Are they just chucking this stuff over the side, or is this being lost by accident? Great job again Mike – keep it up. You are a star!!!
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.
