New Trash Can Enclosures Installed

The new enclosures endorsed by the Fenwick Island Beach Committee have been installed on Atlantic Street, Dagsboro Street and James Street. The black cans w/ green lid are for trash and the green can w/black lid are for recycling. These are a test for the 2022 season to see if it helps with the volume of trash the beach ends have been seeing in recent years.
