If you don't have tier one interns and you're not the kind of employer who knows Nobel laureates like elsewhere in this thread... Then you can probably just throw away your interns work after the summer. They are just "normal" college students after all. Personally, I know none of my student work should have been used in production.
At least in the USA it is illegal for an intern to work for free if that intern is adding value to the company.
The relevant guideline is this:
"The employer doesn’t benefit from work the intern is doing, “and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded.” [1]
