D- Grade Today: Santa Monica Beach Trash Report for Friday, Nov. 4, 2016



Dateline: Friday morning, Nov. 4, 2016 around 9:30 a.m.... we walked from the Santa Monica Pier to Ocean Park and back... and noticed #beachtrash we saw just two days ago... which means, of course, that no one from the City of Santa Monica has walked along the water's edge hand picking up #beachtrash as the City has said that it does... but which it obviously does not do.

This continuing and knowing civic neglect is, of course, a liability risk for the City of Santa Monica and yet the #beachtrash along the water's edge continues and is likely to continue because City Sanitation workers are simply not walking along the water's edge hand picking up the #beachtrash.

This piece of wood below was there this past Wednesday morning as well...





Below, this piece of partially burnt wood has been on the beach here for two weeks now...














Two discarded empty glass bottles of Corona® beer shown in the two following photos...



Below, just look at how stunning this beach is, particularly by the water's edge!  Why wouldn't the City be absolutely certain that this natural resource be taken care of?!...










Below, another stunning view of the beach in Santa Monica at the water's edge... This is a natural resource that is simply too important to ignore and neglect!...

Why does the City continue to neglect this amazing natural resource?  Why does the City continue to trumpet and promote its beaches to visitors and then not clean up the #beachtrash along the water's edge? 


How difficult can it be to assign one staff member from the Sanitation Dept. to walk the beach and hand pick up discarded plastic bottles and other assorted #beachtrash?!... 

-----

We continue to implore the City of Santa Monica to clean up the #beachtrash along the water's edge which it is clearly not doing either daily or regularly and our multiple audits since this past Spring prove this to be true.

Respectfully submitted,

William Maguire,
Santa Monica business owner
