[[Glass Beach (Fort Bragg, California)|Glass Beach]] is on the edge of Fort Bragg, along the ocean. In the early 20th century, Fort Bragg residents threw their household garbage over cliffs owned by the [[Union Lumber Company]] onto what is now Glass Beach, discarding [[glass]], appliances, and even vehicles.<ref name="MendoCom">{{Cite web|title=Glass Beach|work=Explore|publisher=Mendocino County|year=2012|url=http://www.visitmendocino.com/business/glass-beach|access-date=December 22, 2012}}</ref> Locals referred to it as "The Dumps".<ref name="CNN06">{{Cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/2006/TRAVEL/DESTINATIONS/02/16/hidden.gems/index.html?_s=PM:TRAVEL|title=From trash to treasure|last=Kim|first=Susan C.|work=CNN Travel|publisher=CNN|date=February 16, 2006|access-date=December 22, 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150513044721/http://www.cnn.com/2006/TRAVEL/DESTINATIONS/02/16/hidden.gems/index.html?_s=PM:TRAVEL|archive-date=May 13, 2015}}</ref> Fires were lit to reduce the size of the trash pile.<ref name="CNN06" /> In 1967, city leaders closed the area and various cleanup programs were brought on through the years to fix the damage. Over several decades the pounding waves wore down the discarded glass into the small, smooth pieces called [[sea glass]] that coat the beach. The area along the beach at the end of Elm Street is now visited by tourists.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.findseaglass.net/sea-glass-beach-fort-bragg-california/|title=Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, California: A Sea Glass Lover's Dream|date=May 16, 2013}}</ref>
