Cruise Ship Hurtigruten Connects

2020 - Cruise Ship Hurtigruten Connects

The luxury cruise ship company Hurtigruten connects with Beach Buddies and becomes the first cruise ship company in the world to organise beach cleaning events for passengers. More than 500 passengers per year have taken part in beach cleaning events in the Isle of Man each year, continuing to this day

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.
