LITTER HATERS: Volunteers descended on 15 Orange County sites Saturday for the annual state-sponsored Coastal Cleanup Day (B1). . . . Much of the trash consisted of cigarette butts and plastic six-pack rings, but the unusual finds included auto parts, a lost purse and a jockstrap. Cleanups in the past have yielded water heaters, a car windshield, a Christmas tree, a Gucci watch, and yes, even a kitchen sink.
