Mayne Island Beach Cleanup 2024
Date: Sunday April 28th 2024
Time: Cleanup starts at 1:30 pm (low tide of 1.3 ft is at 2:30 pm). Then join a post cleanup party at 5pm in Dinner Bay!
For over two decades the Recycling Society, in partnership with the Mayne Island Conservancy has led an annual one day clean-up of beaches on Mayne Island. Held in the springtime, this massive volunteer effort, with often over 100 people involved, combs all of our popular beaches, removing the flotsam and jetsam. Typically over a ton of debris is removed, brought to the depot, where it is sorted and weighed, and then trucked off island for disposal. This fun activity not only leaves our beaches pristine for our residents and visitors, but removes hazardous wastes from the marine environment. This event has received partial funding from the Capital Regional District.
Get involved: Contact a Beach Captain from the list below to join a crew!
