Comox Strathcona Waste Management, Klahoose Aquaculture, and Friends of Cortes Island are organizing a huge whole island BEACH CLEAN UP!
During the month of May, we are asking you to get out there and clean up your beloved beaches. Going for a beach walk? Why not pick up garbage as you go?
Super sacks are available near some beach access points. So, you can drop off garbage there, the recycling centre, or store it at home. Here’s where the sacks will be:
Hanks Beach Regional Park
Seascape Beach Access
Red Granite Beach Access
Hollyhock Beach
Mansons Landing Government Dock
Hayes Road Beach Access
Plunger Pass Beach Access (Seavista)
The Recycling Centre
Thanks to everyone who has been taking part so far, we are delighted to see the super sacks are filling up!
If you know of any piles of beach garbage that you can’t get off the beach, just let us know and we will see if we can get to them. There are two weeks left to go!
On Sat June 7th you can bring any beach garbage you have collected, or have stored at home, to an Ocean Legacy Bin set up at the Klahoose Aquaculture Building (across from the health centre). Help with sorting is appreciated!
We hope you will join in the fun, get the garbage off the beaches, out of the ocean, and ... off to be recycled! Thanks to all our partners.
