A burning barge? Many burning barges?
(Just thinking out loud).
A barge, safely designed, funded by some NGO, that would stop by riverbanks, get properly trained and outfitted (heavy gloves and rubber boots) staff to pick up trash, say, for 1,000 riel per kg.
Then it goes downwind along the river and treats and burns the trash off in a say a large, riverborne incinerator.
Yes, there'd be more smoke than Kuwait post-Iraqi invasion, but after a couple of years, the river trash could be gone!
Is this riverborne incinerator even possible? I imagine a 3- or 4-legged "water tank" with each leg supported by floats. The container would be replaceable with excess use/heat, and would hold say chemical treatments and inject just enough fuel, air, and spark to keep a safe burn going all the time.
Is that idea feasible? Is there a better river trash clean up idea?
It could look something like this, but not exactly ...
Just trying to defy all stereotypes and thinking out loud.

Ok I will bite.
The issue is not picking up the existing rubbish but changing peoples attitudes.

Ah, slap a fine on afterwards. Make neighbors to surreptiously snitch on each other for a few bucks. They'll do it with camera phones.
India (Delhi) has a cool app that geotags a pic of trash uploaded to its database, then sends the link and location to the sanitation department.
Could something like that be done here?

It's an interesting idea. They do actually have bamboo screens on those sewer/canals, and the garbage is scooped out by excavators sort of regularly. A whole lot of it is plastic bags (with whatever remains inside) and styrofoam food containers. It's put in dumper trucks and brought to the municipal land-fill. It's not a good idea to burn off that stuff in the open.
Those sewers will gradually disappear and be paved over, too much good land going to waste there.

Is their a super Green quick pre-treatment of those common plastics so they can be burned away SAFELY?
Would eliminate the weight / transportation problem and the plastics contamination.

Has it ever occurred to you to think a bit more quietly now and again? Like, silently. Just to yourself?TristranandIsolde wrote:

Sorry, Scobie, but that'd be so Asian. All my friends growing up encouraged me to defy stereotypes. It's helped my growth, really.
