Beach Buddies heads to Langness

LANGNESS is the venue for this weekend’s beach cleaning session for Beach Buddies, returning to this venue for the first time since the end of the bird nesting season.
The session starts at 10.30am on Sunday, September 10th, meeting at the car park at the far end of the road to the lighthouse. Everyone welcome. We had six brand new volunteers at last weekend’s event, so please come along if you’ve not been before, or re-join us again if you’ve been away for a while. A warm welcome awaits for everyone.
 •  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.
