Beach Buddies back in action

BEACH Buddies will be back in action with a team of volunteers on Sunday, April 25th, and it will be great to see everyone again. We’ve chosen to go to Castletown Bay, meeting at the car park alongside the Beach Buddies bin near Hango Hill.
We expect a big turn-out, which will be needed as it’s reported that this area has gathered a large amount of rubbish in recent weeks.
Start time is 10.30am. See you there!!

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.
