A special event focussing on recycling will take place on Saturday, April 16.
‘Recyclefest 2016’ will kick off with a one-hour tour, at 10am, of Douglas Borough Council’s recycling facility with a presentation and the chance to see what happens to your recycled waste here in the island.
At 11.30am the group will assemble outside Braddan Commissioners’ office and proceed along the Heritage Trail and into Cronk Grianagh Park to collect disgarded rubbish.
The event is being organised by Manx Geocaching to mark International Cache In Trash Out weekend and anyone can attend.
Cache In Trash Out is an ongoing environmental initiative supported by the worldwide geocaching community.
Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called ‘geocaches’ or ‘caches’, anywhere in the world.
