Buchan School setting a great example

WE HAD a great group of families with their children at The Buchan who did a wonderful job recently in Castletown Bay and removed a large amount of rubbish – and enjoyed themselves at the same time!
 
Many thanks to the big group of enthusiastic mums, dads and children who took part and particularly to Helen Crosbie who organised everything.
 
Helen sent a message which said: “Thanks so much Beach Buddies, such a great way to spend Sunday morning.”
 
Our message to the Buchan group: “Thanks to each and every one of you. It was great to meet you all and see the genuine enthusiasm and desire to keep our Island free from litter. You all did a fantastic job. You are welcome to come back again any time!”

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.
