One thing beachgoers might not ever consider is what would happen if their beach was ruined by an oil spill? Cleanup efforts might not be effective if not performed properly or done with the right equipment. The businesses would lose out on visitors coming to the beach and more importantly, wildlife would suffer. This scenario used to be common after an oil spill but new inventions have made oil spill cleanup easier than it ever has been before. HESCO® Concertainer® units now can stabilize a beach and help with oil spills clean up efforts by acting as a beach barrier against a spill. The units are made of geotextile materials which make them heavy duty, permeable, with polypropylene fabric and they can fit into the landscape because of their green and sandy color. No one who participates in recreational activities on the beach will ever even know they are there. Also, there is no need for hard structures that inhibit people from performing normal routines on the beach with the HESCO® units.  They can be filled up with materials like sand or crushed rock and linked together to form miles and miles of beach protection. It is easy to put up the units. It takes only 20 minutes to put together a 30-foot tier of the units. Compare that to 1,500 flood sandbags, which while effective, take about seven hours to install. Also, it takes less people to put up the HESCO® units. Two people can have the job done quickly. The sandbags require at least 10 people, which can run up labor costs for property owners who are already going to have to spend a lot to save their beach.

Another tool that makes oil spill cleanup easier is the addition of Enviro Armour to the HESCO® units. This agent is effective in turning oil into a solid that can be removed with ease. When oil is in its liquid form, it is very difficult to clean up. However, if it turned into a solid, then workers can pick it up without ruining the beaches along with it. Also, the solid oil can be taken back and used as a raw material. Some of the uses for the recycled oil include:
·    Asphalt
·    Fuel
·    Rubber
