A team from Ipswich s Greenways Project had to call in a digger and other heavy equipment to clear mattresses and sofas that had been dumped in the Alderman Canal, not far from the town centre.
Three old mattresses and three sofas were removed during an all-day clean-up on Thursday - but the team will still have to return in a few weeks in their boat to remove the floating rubbish.
The Greenways Project is managed by Ipswich council, with support from other local authorities in the area to manage and protect nature areas in and around the town.

Demolition work at a former BT office in central Ipswich is hoped to begin next month as the council look to develop up to 149 new homes.
Ipswich Borough Council s commercial arm, Ipswich Borough Assets (IBA), bought the former BT office in Bibb Way – between Handford Road and Sir Alf Ramsey Way – for £4.1million last year, having originally planned a £10.5m development.
