Trash barriers are one important tool to capture plastic waste in the river streams, so that it will not flow further to enter the ocean. 60% of collected waste by Sungai Watch is captured by these trash barriers. In 2023, Sungai Watch had installed 268 trash barriers across rivers in Bali and East Java. This barrier is cleaned daily by river warriors who are dedicated to keep the river clean.
Besides cleaning the trash barriers, the team also doing a routine cleanup on the upstream of the rivers. This cleanup is mainly done in the riverbank and illegal landfill near the rivers to avoid the trash from entering the waterbody in the first place.
