Beach Buddies at the Southern Show

IT’S THE Southern Agricultural Show this weekend and we are once again helping the organisers by cleaning up the showground at the end of the two days. This is a long-standing friendship between the show and Beach Buddies and we’re delighted to help this great organisation.

It means that there is no Sunday morning session this week as we will be cleaning up on Monday morning from 10.30am. Our big red Beach Buddies truck will be there – near the main arena – and we normally have the showground cleaned up by 12 noon latest. Please join us if you can.

We have some complimentary entrance tickets for Saturday and Sunday for anyone who will be helping on Monday, email: info@beachbuddies.org.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.
