Another record-breaking weekend for PlasticBusters!
Our PlasticBusters volunteers in the Isle of Man have been very busy this weekend picking up nearly three hundred pounds (30 bags) of plastic, cans, glass, and other non-recyclable litter around Middle River Industrial Estate and central Douglas. A record-breaking weekend no only in terms of the litter collected but also the number of volunteers that have taken part. We had two separate groups totalling 24 PlasticBusters!. Most of the litter was collected on the edge of a river, do you want to guess where would it have ended up going?
With this we have now carried out 9 clean-up activities in the Isle of Man to preserve the ecosystems of this unique UNESCO Biosphere nation, where we have so far collected, in less than three months, approximately 800 pounds of litter . And this is only counting our organised group activities, we are aware of many other PlasticBusters that have been working hard on their own! Thanks so much to all volunteers!
All the materials collected were properly separated and taken to the nearby amenity site for recycling.
Please note that we are following very closely the recommendations from the Isle of Man Government with regards to Covid-19, as a consequence of which our programme of activities may be affected in the upcoming months.
