BEACH Buddies is once again delighted to be joining forces with the charity Breast Cancer Now for the New Year’s Day Dip on Douglas promenade. Many thanks for the continued sponsorship from Canada Life International. This year the tides mean it will be a 1pm start. You can sign up online in advance (see poster). It’s always a great event – see you there . .
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.
