Beach Buddies at Southern Show

IT’S ANOTHER busy weekend coming up for Beach Buddies, and we are attending both days of the Southern Agricultural Show on Saturday July 31st and Sunday August 1st, and clearing litter from the grounds at the end of the event.

We will be clearing up generally at the end of each day and then returning on Monday August 2nd to finish the job properly.

We have been allocated a handful of free tickets for either day for any volunteers who can come along, especially on Monday morning for around two hours to help with the final clean-up. First come first served!  (email:  beachbuddiesisleofman@gmail.com).

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.
