The Beach Cleaning Machine provides solutions to the problem of solid wastes dumped at the beach by collecting it. It also lessens the number of coastal cleaners as compared to traditional way of cleaning beaches. This study used the developmental research design. The Beach Cleaning Machine was designed, fabricated, tested and the economic viability analysis of the beach cleaning machine was analyzed. The Beach Cleaning Machine is operated using a 5.5HP Gasoline Engine Motor. It has a collecting rate of 3.13g/sec as to the different categories of solid wastes collected like dried seaweeds, cigarette butts, and plastics. As to its efficiency in collecting solid wastes, dried seaweeds got a 40 percent amount of trash collected and approximately 4 people was the equivalent of the BCM in terms of the rate of cleaning. The machine is economically viable.
