A billboard filled with trash collected from the Long Beach shore on one day in August sits above the corner of Second Street and Glendora Avenue (the billboard above the Belmont Station).
The only words on the board are “Collected in Long Beach on August 20.” The message is simple and clear, said Beth Barnes, president of the Long Beach Chapter of Surfrider.
