Are there currents in space? Space flotsam?

You know how there are some beaches in the world where tons of sea glass or other random sea trash washes up, just because the currents and the shape of the land naturally collects it all there? I was wondering if something similar could happen out in space. Certain planets or solar systems where interstellar space trash is more likely to collect into asteroid belts, planetary rings, or just fall to earth. Completely naturally though, it's not being propelled by anything, it just floats there naturally over millions of years. How would that work? Could solar winds and gravity wells have a similar effect as tides and deep-sea currents in this sense?
