City plans to remove glass from sand found near street

Officials in Saco say workers plan to clean up glass and debris found in sand along a beachfront street near Ferry Beach.

Saco’s Public Works Department told WMTW-TV that the sand came from the mouth of the Saco River around the pilings of the pier at Camp Ellis.

City officials said they dug down deeper at Camp Ellis this year and may have hit an area of trash.

Officials plan to clean up the glass and debris before tourists start visiting the beach.
