What a dump! A beach that used to be covered in trash is now covered in sea glass as the waves have turned the garbage into natural art By Meghan Keneally Updated: 03:12 GMT, 9 January 2012 Long before there were recycling bins in every household, the standards for where and how people can deposit their trash were much lower and less regulated.
