Los Angeles is more than just star sightings and sunshine–it’s our home. Despite the affection most Angelenos and tourists harbor for the beach, the sandy shores remain a dumping ground for discarded soda cans, wrappers, cigarette butts, Styrofoam plates–you name it, you’ve probably spread your towel over it.

Los Angeles City Bureau of Sanitation officials said that the thousands of Los Angeles residents who were mistakenly not charged for the extra-large capacity garbage cans, will be assessed a fee on their Department of Water and Power bill in the next month.
