A municipality in Denmark has come under fire after reports that it spends more than $150,000 dollars a year on a bulldozer that removes seaweed and plastic from the beach only to dump it back into the sea. 

According to Danish national broadcaster Danmarks Radio (DR), the bulldozer can be found driving up and down the Stillinge beach in the Slagelse municipality twice a week during the summer months. A video released by DR appears to show the bulldozer driving a few yards into the water before dumping its contents into the sea.
