May 3, 2019
Rob Getman joins me this morning to talk about his floating rubbish collector. It is a floating trash trap named BOB (Barrera O Basura). It is located in the Rio matias
Hernandez in costa del este just upstream from the Ave Centenario bridge. Rob conceived the idea in 2016. BOB is 200 ft long and sits in the river at a 60 degree angle.
It is owned by Marea Verde, an NGO out of Costa Del Este that receives donations from private businesses including Felipe Motta. It was installed on February 19th 2019. As of today it has collected 1000 bags of garbage. Rob operates and maintains the system with a small group of workers.
