The beach is NOT a garbage can.

i'll keep this one very simple. please clean up your garbage at the beach. i can't understand how people will leave cans, GLASS bottles, diapers,and whatever crap they had, in the sand. especially when there is a garbage can nearby. don't throw your cigarettes into the sand or the water. filters have become a problem. if you bring a dog to the beach, clean up after it, DON'T cover the poop with sand. i'm sure many of you know about marine life that has been hurt or killed by plastics in the water as well. i can't go for a simple walk on the beach because it basically becomes a garbage can to garbage can haul of junk i pick up. at least it makes me feel better when someone notices and helps out.

so, if anyone is interested, here's another link:

Lux, I could not agree with you more...It is not the fact that some beaches may or may not be as dirty as others...Lets just pick up our trash and put it into a garbage can...

I can't speak for where you live, but here, I think, for the most part, people do pick up after themselves. Problem is, it's so much more noticeable when they don't.

i agree with jikado, being from NJ i have seen the difference.you should try going for your walks on a nicer beach. not knocking jersey,just saying that is no comparison to other beaches in the country.of all the beaches on the east coast i believe jerseys are the worst. that doesn't matter anyway,people pick up your trash
