New event coming for “Beach Buddies & Friends”!

There is brief break from beach cleaning this weekend, and Beach Buddies will return to action next weekend – September 26th / 27th which will include a special community event in conjunction with Douglas Town Council. Watch this space for more information next week. This will be a special event – and an opportunity for us all to transform an area of Douglas in dire need of a visit by “Beach Buddies & Friends!”

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.
