A full can of ravioli, a bedpan, and a bathroom sink were among the strange items collected from Jersey beaches last year, according to Clean Ocean Action.

The organization released its 2024 Beach Sweeps report this week.

Volunteers picked up over 270,000 items during the cleanups along the shore.

Since 1985, Beach Sweeps volunteers have removed more than 8 million pieces of trash from New Jersey's beaches.
