Beach Cleaning Crew Puts Truck on Wish List for Palm Beach Work
Civic Association Encourages Donations to Friends of Palm Beach to Purchase Vehicle so They Can Remove
Our Beach Trash
Collecting 2,400 pounds of garbage from the island's beaches, as Diane Buhler and the Friends of Palm Beach do each month, is an arduous task.
But removing that garbage also isn't easy, cheap or something that the town can continue to pay to do.
That's why, since March, Buhler has been the one removing an average of nine heavy bags of garbage from the private beaches that she and her crews clean each week, she told the town's Public Works Committee last week.
To Make a Donation, Please Contact
