Beach cleaner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A beach cleaner is a vehicle that drags a sifting device over beach sand to remove rubbish and other foreign matter. Smaller beach cleaners are either manually hand-drawn or pulled by quad-bike or tractor. Seaside cities use beach cleaning machines to combat the problems of litter left by beach patrons and other pollution washed up on their shores. A chief task in beach cleaning strategies is finding the best way to handle waste matter on the beaches, taking into consideration beach erosion and changing terrain. ^[1]Beach cleaning machines work by collecting sand by way of a scoop or drag mechanism and then sifting anything large enough to be considered foreign matter, including sticks, stones, rubbish, syringes and other items.
