PlasticBusters’ massive clean-up around Ronaldsway

Our PlasticBusters group event took us today to the Ronaldsway area, where a team of 16 volunteers worked tirelessly to clean up a large section close to the Ronaldsway Fire and Rescue Station and along the A5 Road to Castletown.

The weather forecast (and Storm Alex) had been threatening the activity with wind and rain but fortunately it ended up being a beautiful morning!

This time we were joined by a group of students from the nearby King William’s College (KWC), who were shocked by the amount of litter collected, as many as 20 full bags of plastic, cans, glass, and other non-recyclable waste weighting in total circa 130 pounds!.

With this we have now carried out 15 group clean-up activities in the Isle of Man to preserve the ecosystems of this unique UNESCO Biosphere nation, where we have so far collected over 1,750 pounds of litter. And this is only counting our organised group activities, as many of our PlasticBusters continue working hard on their own!

Thanks so much to all volunteers!

Note: All materials collected in our activities are properly separated and taken to the nearby amenity site for disposal/recycling.
