Beach Box Information
By Libby Gardner
This Beach Box Litter Crontrol Program was started in the summer of 2002 and has proven to be an asset in the control of litter on our beaches. It was jointly implemented by the LBPOA and GEORGETOWN COUNTY. This program has also proven that residents and vistors do care for our oceanfront and on the succeeding rows of streets. Other beachfront communities have improved their litter status by following our example. This proves to us that The Litchfield Beach Litter Control Project is a central tenet of litter fighters: When the community cares, so do others. Our motto is "Cleaner beaches are in the bag".
We ask that you always take time to explain to beach visitors that the purpose of our Beach Bags Litter Program is to help keep our beach area clean of trash and dog waste. There is a new law in Georgetown County that requires all pet owners to clean up after their pets.
Keys to the Beach Box Locks are given to each walkway assignee and others as requested. If there are any others that would like to assist with the boxes, please let us know and request a key. Due to the wind/rain, the bags will sometimes go back into the box and will need to be pulled out and threaded through the holder. Also, the rolls often are depleted and need to be dropped down for replenishing and threading. The top bag holder in box should always contain a new small and large bag roll.
ANYONE NEEDING ROLLS OF SMALL OR LARGE BAGS OR ASSISTANCE WITH LOCKS OR OTHER, PLEASE CALL DEE AT THE LBPOA OFFICE (237-9722) OR LIBBY GARDNER (237-9748)
