“Biggest catch ever”: 1,400 tons of waste removed from the river in Guatemala

On the Rio Las Vacas, a river about 16 kilometers from Guatemala City, 1,400 tons — or 272 full trucks — of garbage were collected overnight. And that number is still rising. This happened with the Ocean Cleanup project's interceptor 006, which, with the action, was able to prevent the waste from ending up in the Caribbean Sea.
