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.

A video released by DR appears to show the bulldozer driving a few yards into the water before dumping its contents into the sea.
