Chapter volunteers combined forces with the fine folks from “Keep North Myrtle Beach Beautiful” to assemble and mount 16 litter bag dispenser boxes at beach accesses in North Myrtle Beach. With drills and ratchets in hand the volunteers assembled the boxes at the NMB Rec Center then headed off in four groups to install the dispensers. Designed to give beachgoers easy access to litter and pet waste disposal bags, the 5 feet tall boxes will also serve as a highly visible reminder to keep the trash off the beach. We’d like to thank all the hardworking volunteers who helped make the day a success:

• From the Surfrider Foundation: Joel Cashwell, Jason Dorman, Jamie O’Brien, Rob Edwards, Ty Bellamy, Harmony Bellamy, Jared Hendrix.
• From Keep North Myrtle Beach Beautiful: Donita Kayton, Rob Kayton, Kristine Stokes, Ron Swingle

Also big thanks to Bill McCormick, Andrew Wilson, Greg Martin, Meg King and Jamie O’Brien for their time in constructing these boxes. The boxes in NMB will be maintained by the City of North Myrtle Beach and will serve as a model for future bag dispenser programs.
