Below, these two empty plastic water bottles have been there since Monday!...

If there is any good news to share in terms of the staggering amount of trash that is not collected by the City of Santa Monica it is this... namely, that Heal The Bay (HTB) had a tent set up along Santa Monica South at the bike path behind Tower #17 this morning and were preparing to send student volunteers out to clean the beach in advance of the annual Fall Coastal Clean Up Day sponsored by Heal the Bay and set for this Saturday, Sept. 17, 2016.

excerpt: "Students will learn about pollution prevention, explore the beach and tour Heal the Bay’s Santa Monica Pier Aquarium. The day includes a group beach cleanup, allowing students to make an immediate, positive impact on the coastal environment." (emphasis added).

That's the good news anyways. The bad news is that it is apparently only children/students and volunteers who clean up the trash along the water line because as our repeated audits and photos prove... the City of Santa Monica does not do it!...
