At a beach near you! Town staff has installed beach clean-up stations at each of the Town’s beaches. Simply grab a bucket, pick up any trash you may see, empty into a receptacle, and then return the bucket. It’s that easy and will help keep our beaches clean. The Town wishes to thank Instant Sign Center and Lowe’s Tillman’s Corner for co-sponsoring this project.
