Mayne Island Beach Cleanup 2026
Date: Sunday April 19th 2026
Time: Cleanup starts at 11am
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. This fun activity not only leaves our beaches pristine for our residents and visitors, but removes hazardous wastes from the marine environment.
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. Cleaner plastic, Styrofoam, tires, and other material is taken to Ocean Legacy for a new lease on life! Last year, we were able to divert 72% of collected material to their program.
This event has received partial funding from the Capital Regional District.
