SUPPORT FOR THE PORT ERIN FESTIVAL OF THE SEA

BEACH Buddies is giving its support once again to the wonderful Port Erin “Festival of the Sea” this weekend – make sure you’ve got plenty of sun tan lotion; it’s going to be hot, very hot!!
We will have our truck in its usual spot on both Saturday and Sunday at the little slipway near the fabulous Ice Cream Parlour and alongside the wonderful Martha’s Kitchen on both days of the festival.
For our normal Sunday volunteers we have will be recommending a visit to the nearby Spaldrick Bay close to Bradda Glen and cafe, or a quick trip along the beach. We know that Port Erin Commissioners will have the beach looking spotless for the festival, so this is not going to be a busy weekend for Beach Buddies.
Please come along and say hello any time on Saturday or Sunday – it’s going to be a fabulous weekend.
•  Beach Buddies is sponsored by 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.
