Hi! What can we find on runway? (I mean different objects- nonstandard situations). Could you describe it more detailed? It's very urgent. Do you know any sites with photos. Thanks for your help

Why "urgent"? I recall visiting Ground Operations when I started at Heathrow and there was half a hangar full of debris collected from the runways. You could have built an aeroplane with it!!
As very aptly put by Heathrow Director nothing new and still a problem. Take a look at CAA CAP 562 CAAIP Part 11 Leaflet 11-22 Appendix 1-3. Also a recent presentation on the subject at the link below

What can you find on the runway? People. Animals. Aircraft parts. Car parts. Chunks of tires. Asphalt. Paint. Lights. You can find on the runway just about anything that you might find someplace else. I've encountered people, deer, skunk, moose, elk, horses, various pieces of airplanes, rabbit holes, coyotes, other aircraft, cars, people in tents (not a good place to camp, as they learned), parachutes, signs and barricades, cables, and all sorts of other things.

Okay, I actually didn't find it, I saw it as I was turning off the runway after landing. Told the tower about it, they didn't seem to be that concerned.
