Using the sand sifters

Beach Environmental Awareness Campaign Hawai`i sand sifters are available for purchase. They are great for picking up those small pieces of plastic that wash up on shore. After sifting out the sand it's best to dispose of the debris in a 5 gallon bucket and then transfer the full buckets into garbage bags.
The size of the box is w=12" x l=12" x ht=6". The bottom is mesh wire and the wood handle is 36" long.

"I used a sand sifter at Alan Davis beach (next to Sandy Beach) Friday 25th Jan. and within a half an hour I collected a full 5 gallon bucket of broken glass, rusty nails, and charcoal. I didn't have to use my hands once to pick up those nasty things." Dean Otsuki

Sand sifters are sold alone or with a bamboo rake. Call (808) 554-2902 or 393 2168 for more information.
