The Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust said that 500kg was picked up in their most recent beach clean, 80kg of the waste was plastic.
The most common litter the trust finds is plastic crisp packets, some of which were over 20 years old.
The charity says "single use plastics will continue to cause problems in oceans around the world for years to come."
It comes after the government announced a plan to ban the sale of plastic straws, drinks stirrers and cotton buds in England.
Quote MessageThe amount of plastic we've produced in over 50-60 years is a phenomenal amount. It's something we need to be looking at, even if it's just small behaviour changes we can make on a day to day basis, they're going to make a massive difference in the long-term"

Hundreds of uniformed RAF personnel are arriving at Lincoln Cathedral for the funeral of Corporal Jonathan Bayliss who was killed in a Red Arrows crash last month.
CPL Bayliss, a Red Arrows engineer, was in the Hawk Jet when it crashed in Wales last month.
There will be a full military funeral for the engineer, and all 120 members of the aerobatics team are expected along with hundreds of other personnel from the Royal Air Force.
The cause of the crash which killed CPL Bayliss (pictured below), and injured pilot Flight Lt David Stark, is still being investigated.

Forget the Royal Albert Hall or Hyde Park, the BBC Proms are coming to Lincoln's Drill Hall.
The BBC Proms (pictured) are going on tour and Lincoln's Drill Hall, which is more often used to host rock bands and comedians, will be the home of a performance of Stravinsky's The Soldier's Tale.
The show will be on 4 August.
But the venue says that the tickets won't be cheap, when they go on sale on in June.
Quote MessageIt's great for us as a venue and it's also great as a tourism thing as well. Hopefully it will bring people into the city of Lincoln, which obviously means when tickets go on sale they will be at a premium"

Groups of villagers in two Lincolnshire communities are clubbing together to make sure their local pubs are not sold off for housing.
Pubs The Duke of Wellington in Leasingham and The Royal Oak in Scopwick (pictured) are up for sale so communities in each village are banding together to buy them.
It'll cost each group at least £200,000.
Both pubs have been registered as assets of community value which means they're harder to turn into housing but they only have a limited time to raise the money needed.
Quote MessageOne reason we're trying that we're saving it, as well as a pub as such, is we're hoping to open it up to the community. We could make the pub more attractive to more of the people locally here"
John Woodward, Secretary of the Friends of the Scopwick Royal Oak Pub

I've been broadcasting live from Mablethorpe this morning on the hottest day of the year so far.
Here's a couple of my holiday snaps from the sunny coast. It's lovely!
A 13-year-old boy has been charged with arson with intent to endanger life, external in connection with a fire in Cleethorpes in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Police believe the fire on Harrington Street was an isolated incident and not linked to any of the other reported arson offences during the winter.
Transport chiefs are being urged to intervene to tackle what's being described as "traffic chaos" in North East Lincolnshire.
The Conservative MP for Cleethorpes Martin Vickers told the Commons that motorists were facing increasing delays because of constant road works:
There's a broken down lorry at the top of Lindum Hill in Lincoln city centre this afternoon.
It's causing major jams. Thanks to Joshua, who's tweeted these pictures from Pelham Bridge, about half a mile away.
