If you're heading to Weymouth for the firework festivities tonight, be sure to drop any used sparklers in the orange buckets!

Thanks Weymouth Town Council 😊

🎆 It's almost time for Bonfire Night!

❗A reminder that if you're joining us tonight, please remember to place any used sparklers in the sand-filled orange buckets which will be on the beach and at access points and on the railings from the Pavilion to the Boat Café.

☕ 🍔 The fun starts from 5pm with a range of food and drink stalls set up along the prom, then eyes to the skies at 7.15pm to watch the drone show.
Feel the warmth of the beach bonfire from 7.40pm, and at 8pm the night sky will be illuminated with colour as the firework display gets underway.

Thanks to Dave from AIR 107.2 - Weymouth & Portland, who will be joining us to provide fantastic commentary throughout the evening!

We can't wait to see you there - check out our website (link in comments) for full details 👇

Make sure you are covered when handing over your waste:

-Suspect all waste carriers until they have provided their licence
-Check their licence details on the public register for waste carriers
-Refuse unexpected offers to take your waste away
-Ask how your rubbish will be disposed of
-Paperwork – get an invoice or receipt for the waste they’re taking, including their contact details.

Report fly-tipping here: https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/w/scrap-flytipping

Fly-tipping is a crime that damages our countryside, harms wildlife and costs taxpayers money to clear up.

What many people don't realise is that rubbish often contains evidence that can be traced back to those responsible. If you're caught fly-tipping, you could face a fine of up to £50,000 and a prison sentence.

As part of Fight Fly-Tipping Fortnight 2026, we're reminding everyone to dispose of waste responsibly and always check that anyone taking your waste away is authorised to do so.

You can report fly-tipping on our website, linked below.

Throughout the summer, our wonderful group of volunteer ‘Beach Rangers’ have been out on Weymouth beach once a week, helping to keep the seafront clean, welcoming and litter free.

From litter picking and handing out bin bags to rewarding families for using the bins correctly and spreading the word about the beach toy libraries, they’ve been making a real difference while being a friendly, visible presence on the beach.

Here’s what two of our volunteers had to say about their experience:

💬“I’ve really enjoyed being a Weymouth Beach Ranger this summer. It’s good for exercise, meeting new people and helping to keep our beautiful beach clean. The support and engagement from Litter Free Dorset and Weymouth Town Council was great. I look forward to doing it again next year!” - Gail

💬“I am new to Weymouth and thought by becoming a Beach Ranger it would be a good way to meet like minded people. I enjoyed the interaction with the holiday makers and I believe it was well received. To sum it up I would definitely recommend it and an added bonus it is good exercise!” – Dorrie

The Weymouth Beach Ranger scheme will continue with monthly litter picks throughout the autumn and winter, before returning more regularly in spring and summer next year.

With the bank holiday weekend upon us, hopefully we’ll all get a chance to spend some time enjoying nature and making the most of the incredible Dorset countryside!
With the warm and windy weather we’ve been having, risk of wildfire is high so to reduce fire risk, ditch the disposable BBQs and pack a picnic instead!
Just as tasty and perfect for a sunny day, so share a picnic with your pals and protect our precious heathland 👌🧺❤️

What an amazing turnout for Kimmeridge today!

14 amazing volunteers helped to remove a whopping 101kg of rubbish from Kimmeridge Bay 👏

Most of this consisted of hard plastics and fishing line which had previously been collected by K I M M E R I D G E S M I L I N G S E A S and we were glad to help transport it to her hut, where it will now be sorted for recycling ♻️

This weekend marks the final push of the Great Dorset Beach Clean, with five more cleans still to come. Come and join one of the final cleans of GDBC2026!
