Tools that keep the river clean

Alongside our volunteers, we invest in equipment that catches trash and lifts it out of the river every day. Here is how it works, and where your support goes.

PANDAWARA

Trash barrier

How it works
A line of floats is anchored across the river at an angle. A skirt hanging below them stops floating plastic, and the current pushes it along the barrier into a mesh cage, while water and fish pass underneath.
Impact
It catches trash day and night, long after volunteers go home, so plastic stops at the barrier instead of travelling on to the sea.
Investing
Your support buys the floats, skirt, anchors and cage, and pays to repair them after floods.

Conveyor belt

How it works
A cleated mesh belt climbs the riverbank. Each cleat scoops up a piece of trash at the waterline and carries it up; the water drains back through the mesh, and the trash drops into a bin on land.
Impact
It lifts trash out of the river without anyone wading into polluted water, and keeps it on land where it can be sorted and taken away.
Investing
Your support pays for the belt, frame and motor, the power to run it, and regular upkeep so it keeps running.

Adopted rivers

Rivers we have adopted: stretches we return to, clean and keep watch over with the communities living alongside them.
