Abstract

Accumulation of solid waste from rivers that hinder the quality and life below water is one reason for this pollution. Rivers and creeks in the Municipality of Odiongan are used as solid and liquid dumping sites, resulting in water pollution. In addition, the municipality also generates tons of waste every month. This project aims to design floating trash traps installed in the municipality's three (3) rivers, specifically Bangon River, Gabawan River, and Poctoy River. These plastic-made traps are strategically placed in rivers and streams to stop solid waste from floating further downstream without hampering aquatic life movements
