Beach Buddies will make a final assault on the massive accumulation of rubbish on the beach at Sartfield, Jurby on Sunday morning.
Volunteers have already made a huge difference to a 2 mile stretch of shoreline, but more material still needs to be collected north and south of Sartfield to clear up what is estimated to be 20 years' worth of rubbish.
The Beach Buddies volunteers will meet at Sartfield at 10.30am on Sunday morning and will provide gloves, litterpickers and bin bags for the task.
On this occasion, volunteers are asked to leave their bags of rubbish above the high water line, to save hauling them the long distance back to the access road.
The bags will be collected afterwards by a local farmer who has very kindly offered to take the rubbish away. We estimate that around 100 bags have already been collected and that there are at least another 50 to be collected.
But, once this has been done, Beach Buddies' volunteers will have "broken the back" of what is probably the biggest single beach rubbish problem to be found on the entire Island.
With a lot of work having been done in recent weeks all over the Isle of Man's beaches by corporate teams joining Beach Buddies, we may be able to finally claim that the Isle of Man has the cleanest beaches in Britain. From what visitors say, it looks like we are setting standards that nowhere else is achieving.
Now that would be a wonderful angle for the 2014 tourism brochure!
