The Ocean Cleanup's Interceptor Original working on the Rio Ozama in the Dominican Republic in summer 2020.But since this giant interceptor doesn't fit in smaller rivers, the team developed another solution, a standalone floating barrier to capture the waste, and a small, mobile conveyer belt that scoops up the trash and transports it to a dumpster onshore.
Eight Ocean Cleanup interceptors are currently installed in Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Slat expects about 20 will be installed by next year, including one in Los Angeles.India-based AlphaMERS makes another version of a simple river barrier and has 34 installations in eight different cities across the country. It's much smaller than the Ocean Cleanup's Trashfence, and not designed for the same extreme trash flow, but it's still pretty heavy duty.
The barriers are angled to direct trash toward the riverbank, where excavators have traditionally plucked the trash from rivers. AlphaMERS has been using conveyor belts instead, just like Clearwater Mills and The Ocean Cleanup.
