Beach cleaning robot tours Pinellas County

A new solar-powered, beach-cleaning robot has arrived in Pinellas County, drawing attention to all the debris lurking just beneath the beach surface. Overseen by Keep Pinellas Beautiful, BeBot will visit 14 locations this month, from Clearwater to St. Pete Beach. The remote-controlled robot collects small pieces of litter — cigarette butts, plastic straws, bottle caps, food wrappers and more. ------------------ For More News and Videos SUBSCRIBE and Turn Notifications On Get a Digital Subscription to the Tampa Bay Times Follow us: Facebook ► Twitter ► Instagram ► #PinellasCounty #Pinellas #TampaBay
