Garbage? WHAT Garbage!

Here's some of the types of garbage found along our beach

As a community of beach lovers, each and every one of us can pick up litter as we are out there. Each and every piece of litter picked up greatly helps minimize this enivronmental problem and eye sore. Take a stand - this community resource can be protected and served by the WHOLE community.

Here's a partial list of the kinds of garbage found along our beach, where you'll find them and generally what time of year they are more common.

5 gallon containers of unknown chemicals. These are found year round, some dumped some come in with the tide.

Plastic Strapping

These balls of strapping can be 4 feet wide
and 4 feet tall or found as individual strips.
Found most commonly in the winter months along the high tide mark.
Light bulbs

These light bulbs are found in all different shapes and sizes. Generally seen around the high tide mark in the winter months.

Plastic Bags

These large heavy mil plastic bags stop food from reaching the razor clams below. They are found generally in the wet sand half buried. Winter months are the worst.
All kinds of things

Tires, refridgerators, wiring, you name it.
These are all dumped or brought in by our
common heavy winter surf. Found at the base
of the dunes or at the high tide mark.

Plastic

Although all kinds of plastic containers are found in abundance during the winter months they are found year round all over the beach.
Furniture

People bring their old furniture and appliances
and dump them near or in the dunes year round.
