Miami Beach offers plastic foam cooler swap

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Miami Beach officials are offering new reusable coolers to beachgoers instead of issuing violations for plastic foam coolers.

The city banned Styrofoam and other plastic foam products on its beaches in 2012 to reduce litter and pollutants. Anyone caught with glass, cans or plastic foam products on the beaches are subject to fines up to $500.
