Beach cleaning link-up with cruise ship passengers

BEACH Buddies will team up with cruise ship passengers this weekend with an event at Derbyhaven on Sunday morning, June 9th from 10.30am. The meeting point is on the road leading to the Two-Six Cafe. The Beach Buddies trucks will be clearly visible on the roadside.
We will be joining forces with crew and passengers from Hurtigruten’s expedition cruise ship “Maud” which is a regular visitor to the Isle of Man. Beach Buddies has strong connections with Hurtigruten, going back several years. Hurtigruten is the first cruise ship company in the world to take part in regular beach cleaning volunteer events, starting with Beach Buddies in the Isle of Man in 2017.
•  Parts of the Derbyhaven and Langness areas are sensitive bird nesting areas, but we will be avoiding these sections of the beach. Instructions will be given prior to the beginning of Sunday’s session.

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.
