Every spring break, college students are given time off from classes, and many of them spend it partying it up in popular beach destinations. They also frequently leave behind empty beer cans, liquor bottles, cigarettes, garbage, and damage to the beaches and marine life at the end of the week. Some cities have already started litter cleanup efforts or have prohibited alcohol during spring break season to prevent alcoholic beverage containers from littering their beaches.
