BEACH BUDDIES AT JURBY THIS WEEKEND

THE Sunday volunteer event for Beach Buddies moves inland this weekend with a return to the village of Jurby on Sunday October 5th from 10.30am. Meet in the car park at the Jurby Community Centre. For those keen to go to a beach it’s just across the road at Sartfield. The weather forecast is for 14C, possible slight rain and breezy.
We have started a new sponsorship programme for our 40 bins around the Isle of Man’s coastline. These bins are emptied by Beach Buddies every week and provide a free facility for everyone to leave items they find on our beaches (no domestic or commercial waste accepted). If you or your company would like to become a Beach Buddies bin sponsor please get in touch.
•  If you are looking for somewhere to have lunch afterwards, or a coffee & cake, we highly recommend The Old Guardhouse alongside the Motor Museum. Winter hours: Thursday to Sunday 10am to 3pm. Dogs very welcome.
•  Beach Buddies is sponsored by FIM Capital. www.fimcapitalco.im

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.
