Device delivered today performs with spectacular results

Councilman Vincent Ignizio is proud to announce that the Charington beach cleaner that he had sought for the Parks department was delivered this morning to Conference House Beach.  This device was suggested by the Councilman, who then secured $100,000 towards its purchase.

The Charington Beach Cleaner is capable of 8mph and can even go into several inches of water.  This machine is specifically designed for the natural and narrow type beaches that circumnavigate the South Shore.  It can filter glass, cigarettes, plastic and even reduce the amount of bacteria in the sand.

“I feel confident to say that we will soon have some of the cleanest beaches in the city.  We are an Island community and should do all we can to enhance our waterline,” said Ignizio. “I hope I can fund a couple more next year.”

The Charington Cleaner will be able to be used on public beaches from Conference House to Wolfe’s Pond Park and beyond.
