Show Notes
Long Beach City Council approves new partnership to combat river trash, aiming to reduce pollution in local waterways and beaches. The deal with Los Angeles County and The Ocean Cleanup focuses on better coordination and debris capture before it reaches the coast. The city, located at the end of the river watershed, currently spends millions annually on trash removal. The partnership will explore tools like kicker booms, receiving booms, and cranes for debris removal, with a potential cost of up to nine million dollars upfront and one to three million annually for operations. The project aims to install solutions by early 2028 and secure additional funding to cut trash at the source.
