Beach cleaning robot tours county beaches
July 5, 2022 - Local non-profit Keep Pinellas Beautiful (KPB), in partnership with the City of Madeira Beach, is providing Pinellas County residents and visitors the chance to watch a beach cleaning robot in action through the month of July. Donated by Surfing’s Evolution and Preservation Foundation, the remotely controlled BeBot collects small trash and debris from beach sand that may otherwise go unnoticed. The kickoff event was Tuesday morning at Madeira Beach, but the BeBot will visit Pinellas County beaches throughout July.
