The island-wide beach clean up returns for 2025! Get involved - contact a Beach Captain listed below! Date: Sunday April 27th 2025 Time: Cleanup starts at 10:30 am Sponsored by the Recycling Society and the Mayne Island Conservancy, community members join up with their neighbourhood crews to tackle garbage and recycling removal from beaches around the island. The refuse is taken to the recycling depot, where it is weighed and sorted and brought to facilities off island. 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. 9000 litres of plastic, Styrofoam, tires, and other garbage was removed from beaches around the island in the 2024 Annual Beach Clean-Up – with our record being 10,000 from the year before. Let’s see if we can break that record this time around. Again this year we will have a Post-Cleanup celebration, this time at the Agricultural Hall. Join us at 4:30pm on April 27th for refreshments, fun, and PRIZES for these categories:
