Covanta Energy has a program called Fishing for Energy. They accept marine debris free of charge.
Covanta creates energy by burning debris which generates steam that powers a turbine that creates electricity.
The Fishing for Energy program began in Hawaii when they realized there was a need of a way to get rid of old fishing equipment and help the environment at the same time.
Fishermen save money because they then don’t have to pay to have their old equipment hauled off and disposed of. Covanta makes good use of the derelict items which might include nets or even shipwrecks!
It’s an effective way to get rid of the local ‘trash’ and creates energy at the same time.
