Glass Beach, California, USA گلاس بیچ، کیلیفورنیا، امریکہ

In the early 20th century, Fort Bragg residents threw their household garbage over cliffs owned by the Union Lumber Company onto what is now Glass Beach, discarding glass, appliances, and even vehicles.[1] Locals referred to it as "The Dumps."[2] Fires were lit to reduce the size of the trash pile.
The California State Water Resources Control Board and
city leaders closed the area in 1967.[1][2] Various cleanup
programs were undertaken through the years to correct the
damage. Over the next several decades the pounding waves
cleaned the beach, by breaking down everything but glass
and pottery and tumbling those into the small, smooth,
colored pieces that cover Glass Beach.
In 1998, the private owner of the property determined that
Glass Beach should belong to the public, and began a five
year process of working with the California Coastal Conservancy
and the California Integrated Waste Management Board for
the cleanup and sale of the property to the state.
