I collect a small amount of driftwood after most larger storms on the beach next to my home. Never had an issue and have seemed to get that look of "less for us to clean up".

Thats central NJ so not 100% sure where you are but I would think the driftwood atleast would be fine.

as long as they are not in anybodys front yard take them.

Its illegal, but who cares. People here take it all the time to use as firewood. Just dont take a stupid ammount or a whole tree.

also - you might want to watch out for toxins and contaminants as storm drains exit out to the water near the wood/rocks on these beaches sometimes. haha well then again i do live in LA, so that might be an exception.
