ONE of the many beautiful stretches of coastline in the Isle of Man is the venue for this weekend’s beach cleaning event with Beach Buddies on Sunday, October 13th when we go to Derbyhaven from 10.30am. We already know of some brand new volunteers who will be joining us – if you’ve never tried beach clenaing before please come along. You will get a warm welcome and meet some great like-minded people.
• Beach Buddies is sponsored by FIM Capital
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.
