Beach cleaning at Scarlett this weekend

BEACH Buddies gets back into action on Sunday, May 23rd with a beach cleaning session on the south coast, meeting at Scarlett car park at 10.30am.

As usual, all equipment will be provided and the rubbish collected will be removed and recycled where possible, with the remainder going to make electricity at the Energy From Waste plant.
We always like to welcome new faces. It’s very friendly, informal and enjoyable and we’ve found that families especially enjoy taking part as a weekend activity. The session ends no later than 12 noon.

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.
