Along with the usual trash — food wrappers, plastic bottles, beer cans — there are also used condoms, "female hygiene products," and medical waste washing ashore at Slaughter Beach and Broadkill Beach, WBOC reports. Without assistance, it could take weeks to clean up the mess, but who's going to volunteer to pick up syringes?
