PORT ERIN BEACH CLEANING IS ON . . .

THE weather forecast is sort of OK and the roads now appear to be free from snow and ice, so Beach Buddies is going ahead with a volunteer beach cleaning event on Sunday (January 12th) in Port Erin from 10.30am. The meeting point to collect equipment is on Port Erin promenade near the ice cream kiosk. There will then be a choice as to where to go – either Port Erin beach itself, or Spaldrick. However, access to Spaldrick is via a quite steep set of steps, so might not suit everyone. The choice is yours.
PS – Happy New Year to you all. We’ve got lots happening in 2025 and it promises to be a really great year leading up to the 20th anniversary of Beach Buddies, which started on January 6th 2006.
•  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.
