FOR THE first time in many months Beach Buddies will hold a volunteer event at the Point of Ayre – on Sunday morning, December 4th, from 10.30am.
The meeting point is the car park to the right of the lighthouse, not far from the little “Winkie” lighthouse. The Beach Buddies big red trucks will be there as guide.
• Beach Buddies is sponsored by FIM Capital and receives annual funding from DEFA.
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.
