Today, we people are facing pollution everywhere. Due to rise in pollution our environment is getting adversely affected. One of the most recent problems we are facing is pollution of the water in rivers and lakes. This paper highlights a proposed design of trash collecting system effective and efficient for cleaning up trash from rivers, canals and lakes, or known as inland waterways. Another main objective of research work is cleanliness of surrounding and, safety, welfare of people in public health. The trash or debris collecting system is specifically supervised and control to application in highly maneuverable vessels equipped with means for picking up floating solid and liquid trash, storing waste on the vessel, and discharging the waste from the vessel to a storage area, either for ashore purpose or as garbage transporter. Cleaning the trashes by using manual processes would be ineffective as it often covers vast area of works and efforts. Therefore, this paper presents a proposal on trash collecting system for inland waterways. The system designed will be the easiest way to manage the inland waterway environments, time saving and cost efficient, thus deemed as the most viable solution as means to clean up the mess created by human. A trash skimmer work boat collects and discharges debris from the front or bow. A storage conveyor positioned approximately amidships and along the center line, and is mounted to the hull on a slide or track arrangement that permits fore and aft motion.
