Boca Save our Beaches teamed up with the Riviera Civic Association on the cleanup, with about 20 volunteers from the Riviera, Por La Mar and Sun & Surf neighborhoods collecting 150 pounds of trash in about 90 minutes at the park and along East Palmetto Park Road.

Sun rides his bike most days to the beach and picks up trash that raccoons take into the dunes at night. He says the beach trash cans have no lids.
