Quick Tip – Beach Clean Up

With labor day coming up soon, many of you will be vacationing on the beach for one last hurrah.  Make sure to pick up any trash or recyclables that you may have with you (or from nearby beachgoers) in the proper bin.  Trash can easily get caught in the sand and ocean threatening marine life.
