Christmas is coming . . .

BEACH cleaning events leading up to Christmas are now winding down for Beach Buddies as we approach the festive season and new year.

There will be a break this coming weekend, before the final Sunday event of the year – on Sunday, December 13th. We are planning to have a brief get-together afterwards. Venue to be announced next week.

•  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.
