Report: 10 tons of trash left behind on Virginia beach after Memorial Day Weekend event

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (SBG) - Tons of trash was left behind Monday morning on the shore of Virginia Beach after a popular Memorial Day Weekend event called "Floatopia" where beachgoers celebrate the holiday by bringing floats to the beach, according to local reports.

A video posted by Facebook user Melissa Noel has since gone viral that shows piles of trash on the shore.

Councilman Michael Berlucchi took to Facebook Monday afternoon to express his disappointment in the mess left behind.

"I was disappointed to wake up this morning to see images of trash all over our beautiful Chesapeake Bay beach after Sunday’s festivities. We can do better than this! Let’s work together to keep our City beautiful and clean," the councilman said.
