    I work in the waste management industry, I'm an electrician that works on pumps etc. This isn't just a build-up of random discarded waste, this is intentional industrial fly-tipping. If you go up river you will find almost all the waste is coming from 2 or 3 specific areas. Someone is using the river as a dump.
    You guys are doing great work.

      That’s an absolutely insane amount of trash in that river… The population of that country needs to be [censorship] for like 5 years under strict [censorship] wielding “rebels” to punish THAT much trash in a little creek… the freaking excavator was having a hard time keeping up with the flow of new trash while scooping the last bits out… anyone else see that? It literally kept cleaning and more and more and more and more kept piling up… I bet they can just lay that excavator and trucks to show up once an hour and they will get a full truckload… it’s as if this one creek in a decade will produce enough to create 90% of the ocean’s/world’s garbage patch/microplastic/polution problem… if there are multiple creeks or even rivers with this intense of a trash flow then we are truly going to ruin this planet within the next decade beyond repair… trash trucks and excavators won’t save us then. It will be beyond repair for the next 200,000 years or more.

      This project does close to nothing if people don't change their habits. But this video can be a great tool to raise awareness. I think it's more important to educate people not to litter than pick up what they throw away so they think "some of us will take care of this"

      ​@@begirbigger7843your thinking seems wrong. Cleaning up removes the trash from these eco systems. Obviously it makes a difference.
      Not cleaning up will make no difference to the people doing this... there are enough places in this world for you to go and see this first hand. People will live amongst heaps and mountains of trash and simply go on with their lives as if it doesn't exist.

      My only question is what do they do with all that garbage, how do they dispose of it?

      They’re getting paid to clean it. Let them make a paycheck.

    At first I thought this was something someone built in their backyard until they brought out the crane 💀😂

    I live on the Pacific Coast of Guatemala and I this year I can actually see the difference in the amount of trash washing up on the beach. Thank you so much for doing this! Everyone in our town knows about your work and is sharing the videos on all socials! You are the only ones and I hope your operation only grows! Bravo!

      But are the people actually changing their terrible habits of throwing trash in the river or just not caring about making a change ...?

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for cleaning this river in my beautiful country of Guatemala. I wish people would not throw their garbage into the river or in nature. Thanks

      If you were that thankful you'd quit throwing trash in your streets in the first place.

      Yes it should be. So maybe they learn it and stop littering and shit into the river.

      Most Guatemalans live hand to mouth so they don't think about the consequences of their actions. Throwing garbage down a hillside or into a river is free, garbage collection isn't.
