Beach Buddies at the Southern Show

BEACH Buddies will be at this weekend’s Southern Agricultural Show this weekend, and getting involved in a big clean-up of the showgrounds on Sunday afternoon, July 31st.
 
We have been involved with the Southern Show for many years, and the organisers have kindly given us a space in the top field for us to exhibit and spread the message.
 
We will have litterpickers, gloves and bags available all over the weekend for anyone to use to collect rubbish, and we will recycle as much of the rubbish collected as possible.
 
Please come along and say hello!!
 
• Beach Buddies is sponsored by FIM Capital and receives annual funding from DEFA.

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.
