BIRD NESTING SEASON IS ALMOST HERE

AMAZINGLY, the bird nesting season is just around the corner (March to August), so Beach Buddies will concentrate its efforts this next two weekends on cleaning up the beaches around the Isle of Man where thousands of seabirds annually lay their eggs.
The programme (subject to the weather) is as follows:-
Sunday, February 16th: Langness (car park on the way out to the lighthouse).
Sunday, February 23rd: Smeale (northern access point – BB sign as a guide).
Both events start at 10.30am, ending by 12 noon latest. Beach Buddies provides all equipment and has full Public Liability Insurance. Everyone welcome – all ages – plus well behaved dogs. Please wear suitable clothing for the weather.
•  Beach Buddies is sponsored by the wonderful FIM Capital.

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.
