The Ocean Clean Up has installed two barricades on the Rio Las Vacas river near Guatemala City to control a torrent of plastic waste that has been flushed into rivers by flash flooding . The organisation fits waste control fencing in some of the highest polluting rivers on the planet to stop plastic reaching the oceans . Collected plastic is then passed to local partners and waste management companies .
