Refrigerators, Styrofoam and debris from cargo ship cleaned off BC beach

The Coast Guard says all large debris that washed up onshore at Cape Palmerston from the MV Zim Kingston has now been removed.

Over the weekend, a helicopter removed 71 refrigerators, 81 bags of Styrofoam, 19 bags of garbage and 11 helicopter bags of debris off the beach.

The Coast Guard said crews will soon start removing debris from Guise Bay at Cape Scott, as long as the weather cooperates.

Plans are also underway to use a helicopter to remove the four washed-up shipping containers, the Coast Guard said.

More than 100 containers broke free from the MV Zim Kinston near the mouth of the Strait of Juan de Fuca during rough seas last Thursday.
