At Johnnie Walker Beach in Lewes, a pilot program has introduced recycling bins for plastic bottles and cans to reduce litter. The city aims to expand the initiative based on usage.

Officials in Rehoboth Beach are weighing the possibility of implementing an emergency curfew following a recent string of disturbances involving young adults.

Rehoboth Beach Police responded to two incidents involving large crowds April 30 and May 2. Problems with parking, smoking and littering were addressed on Wednesday and a large fight on Friday is being investigated.

July 5 is known as one of the worst days for garbage being left on the beach. Lewes, on the other hand, has another problem. People are leaving their beach items, like chairs and umbrellas, on the beach overnight.

Littering on the beach in Lewes has caused concern from some locals. From plastic bottles to socks and shoes, leftover items obscure the scenic walk for many.

As littering continues to be a problem for the environment, people in Lewes are on a mission to keep the beach town looking clean.
