Every year, millions of tons of trash find their way into the rivers and streams around our country, contaminating the water and endangering the all those whose lives depend on it. A significant portion of the rubbish is floating, insoluble material, which is more hazardous since it creates a barrier between air and water. The design of an ocean cleaner is suggested in order to remove garbage from the sea or to create a cleaner atmosphere. This floating rubbish can be taken out of the water's surface by this system. The system uses a conveyor belt-style arrangement that is powered by an electric motor. The conveyor belt continuously goes upward, collecting trash along the way thanks to spike arrangements. After that, a trash collection tank is supplied, where the same are momentarily stored. An advantage of this type of device is that it may be made to float, allowing it to move on the water's surface and continuously gather floating rubbish. On the roof, we can also employ solar power cells to supply electricity. The river cleaning system may eventually include a rubbish level indicator assembly.
