Far from perfect but seems to work perfect none-the-less!

This is our prototype of a surface trash boom. Took us probably 10 min to construct and uses easily obtainable materials and utilizes trash to collect trash! Thank you, Wendy and Dave for pulling this together.

Proof of concept in the video! Hmmm… these could be a pretty cool Scout project or hands on for a study or class in school.
