Shelly, that is a good idea. I had thought about doing this as a re-using business, where I would collect the crap, and sell it for half price at Grayton General store. There would be plenty of selection, and we would be reducing the amount of crap that ends up in the landfill. It would be labor intensive and not a money maker, but it would serve a good purpose. The business would cease very quickly, as people were educated by experience.

Just lucky we don't have a real tidal range here. Low tide they put there crap and cars on the beach and at high tide there gone! By the way that is how garbage pick-up is done in Venicia (Venice for ya non-Italian speaking folk). On cruise ships they do the same when they are more than 25 Miles offshore. Nice huh? :yikes:

So Caroling, did you get before and after video or photos from the Eastern Lake area? I'm still out of town, so I can't get down there to see the results.

Yes, I did get the videos. I'm just dealing with how to get the videos from four mornings to show in parallel, so I can see what got tagged and what removed. Generally a big improvement at Eastern Lake, Ramsgate, and Lakewood/Beachfront. Most of the rental chairs are gone. However, some are not. The sheriff didn't tag everything. I will try to get some specifics together soon.

Some people will do that during hurricanes. When Ivan was starting to come in, and before the beachcams went down, the news crew was pointing out a number of very nice looking cars left on Via De Luna in Pensacola Beach, presumably in hopes of getting a good insurance settlement from them.

I don't care what happens to the items (would obviously prefer a charity to a landfill as previously stated) as long as they GET OFF THE BEACH! :bang:

How about this one, in the middle of 30A?
 
Not on the beach, I was addressing the under and near private walkover question. If you read the FAQ it says they will remove stuff on the beach, just not under private walkovers. Also, if you put it against a nearby TDC trash can, the TDC will get it.
Gotcha. Actually I don't remember any time when a renter has abandoned anything anywhere other than under the walkover.

Thanks again for the clarificaton.
