The City of Myrtle Beach has an interesting request for locals -- bring excess sand back to the beach.

The goal in the next few weeks is to restore the damaged dunes.
The city’s spokesperson, Mark Kruea said this is the reason crews are asking residents and businesses to return clean sand back to the beach.
The clean sand should be free of debris, trash, and glass.
City leaders also advise yard and tree contractors to dispose of debris and waste at the city’s transportation site or landfill.
