New venue for BB team event

CONSIDERING that Beach Buddies has been in existence for 15 years you would think that it’s impossible to find somewhere new to go for our weekend volunteer event. However, this week (Sunday October 3rd) we will do just that!
We’re going – for the very first time as a team of vounteers – to White Strand, just outside Peel.
Beach Buddies has been there many times over the years with just one or two people at a time, but we have never previously organised a team event, so this is something of an occasion for us.
Please park carefully, as space is limited and you will all have to leave vehicles on the A road. Please park only on the west side of the road (ie: on the left if you’re driving from Peel towards Kirk Michael).
We meet – as normal – at 10.30am and finish no later than 12 noon. This is a day when the Manx Wildlife Trust will also be there hosting a “Mindfulness” event, and it will be good to join with them.

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.
