01/05/2008:// What turned out to be quite a task, meant that volunteers managed to collect over 100 black sacks of beach debris rubbish, weighing in at just under half a ton of waste in only a couple of hours.
The Staff at the Marine Conservation Society commented that this was some kind of record for a non-crisis situation, which indicates the extent of neglect at Grange Chine, right on their doorstep.
The data is being collated to sent to the MCS while all the waste which was collected is being processed for recycling. Any that can’t be reused or recycled will be used as fuel for the Forest Road Energy from Waste plant.
Rob Drake-Knight, Sales and Marketing Coordinator for Rapanui said, "A fantastic turn out of volunteers, a big thank you to all that came down, all of which had a good day out and met lots of like-minded people. Keep your eyes and Ears peeled for the next quarterly in August."
The National event raised awareness of beach pollution and the work of organisations such as Surfers Against Sewage and the Marine Conservation Society.
