Trash is giving La Jolla a bad name
This letter was sent to San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and Councilman Joe LaCava, with a copy to the La Jolla Light:
The trash issue in and around La Jolla coastal walkways and parks is overwhelming. Accompanying this letter are two examples of trash cans along the coastal walkway at 7 p.m. I filled up a full-size trash bag from trash left on South Casa Beach.
A trash can near the coast overflows with garbage in La Jolla.

Several families approached me and thanked me for cleaning up the beach and expressed sadness and disgust. They commented that they expected better from the famed La Jolla. They also expressed disappointment that La Jolla does not have recycle bins like Del Mar. I noticed when leaving that the trash cans by the high-end shops were more clean and plentiful.
