At our marina, we’re proud to be part of the Clean Marina programme – and we’re always looking for ways to reduce waste and protect the environment we love. Recently, we were approached by Hibiscus Zero Waste, who challenged us to ask: Are we doing the best we can for our environment? The truth is, much of what we throw away could actually be recycled or repurposed. But to make a real difference, we need your help.
Many of our boat owners are already doing a fantastic job separating waste – thank you! However, our maintenance team still spends a lot of time sorting paper, cardboard, and bottles out of the blue landfill bins and into the green recycling bins.
Remember: anything placed in the blue bins goes straight to landfill. As boaties, the ocean is our playground, and every small action we take helps protect it. We all want future generations to enjoy the same clean, beautiful marine environment we do today. Our discussions with Hibiscus Zero Waste are ongoing, and we’re excited to share more updates soon.
In the meantime, here’s how you can help:
- Blue Bins – Landfill
- Green Bins = Recycling Batteries and gas bottles – please leave them beside the bins for staff to collect.
- Oil and filters – use the oil disposal bins located in the car parks.
- Recycling isn’t new – most of us already do it at home. Let’s bring that same care to the marina.
After all, the marina and the ocean are your home away from home. Thank you for helping us respect and protect it. “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”
