First Smart Phones, Now Smart Trash Cans
We at Heal the Bay hate trash almost as much as Oscar the Grouch loves it. That’s why we’ve teamed with the City of Santa Monica to create 500 eye-catching new receptacles to remind beachgoers “Toes in the Sand, Trash in the Can.”
But that’s not all…
These cans also boast a QR code that links smart phone users to the new Santa Monica Beachcast. Once on the mobile website, users can assess the water quality of the day via Heal the Bay’s Beach Report Card and also sign up for an upcoming beach cleanup. Also available: The latest weather conditions, community Twitter updates and emergency contact information.
The SM Beachcast also invites users to upload and share their favorite beach photos via Instagram, using the tag #SMBC.
