There are no trash pails in the parking lot. Fishing season has begun and there is lots people coming and going and no place to throw out trash. Now it's all over the lot and blowing in to the marsh.

Carol - the problem is the access. Most other communities that host beaches that are "public" have at the most one or two ways to access the beach itself. You have to drive up to a gate or a small gate house to get it at all. Greenwich beaches, Westport beaches, virtually all beaches on the shoreline and most state parks are operated this way. If you are a resident and have a sticker or a card you get in for free. If you are not you, have to pay. That's where we miss the boat, no pun intended. the beach is just one long, open strip of sand that anyone can access anywhere from the walk by chicks all the way down to the other end where it ends near south st. Anyone can just park and walk in. I am not sure how you can limit access to the beach itself since access is virtually wide open,
I don't have a solution, so I am not complaining, I am just stating the facts. What i will say however is I do believe that our city government should be looking at how to generate revenue from the thousands of out of towners who grace our fair city with their presence and their trash every weekend in the summer for free. They should be talking to other community leaders for ideas on how to make the beaches a revenue generating option for the city, rather than a revenue loser. But they won't. There isn't an innovate or froward thinking brain in that building. Oh well. I guess the solution is just keep raising our taxes so that other people can enjoy (and destroy) what the city has to offer for free.

I'm not sure we earned the moniker "Waste Haven" due to high taxes. My understanding it's because we all are mentally ill, obnoxious, and live in a dirty city that's been forgotten by the "powers that be" very long ago.
PS: These "powers that be" are not at City Hall.
