Cleanup set for North Indian River Inlet beach
By MILLSBORO — Volunteers with the Delaware Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation will be cleaning up old construction materials during low tide at the North Indian River Inlet beach.
According to a news release, concrete chunks, rusted nails, rebar, and pipes that were previously buried have resurfaced due to the quickly eroding North Indian River Inlet dune. Thousands of pounds of debris are now strewn across the beach and have tumbled into the ocean causing unsafe conditions for beachgoers, swimmers, and surfers, the release said.
The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control has provided a bobcat and dumpster for the project.
Volunteers are needed to recover the heavy concrete pieces and other remnants so that the bobcat can retrieve and dispose of them without going onto the beach and further disturbing the dune.

Upcoming Surfrider beach cleanups will be held from Monday through Wednesday, 7-9 a.m. and Thursday, 8-10 a.m. at the North Indian River Inlet.
