This new drone technology is being used to clean Ontario’s Great Lakes. Here’s how
Description
October 2, 2024
Pollution Probe's Great Lakes Plastic Cleanup initiative, is getting a big boost in its mission to rid our waterways of plastic waste thanks to a new remote-controlled, mobile waste collector called a PixieDrone that will help Pollution Probe collect floating debris, including plastic, flowing into the Great Lakes. The drone was tested on Lake Simcoe, along the waterfront in Barrie, Ontario in late September and will later be used at other Great Lakes Plastic Cleanup locations across the Great Lakes region starting Spring of 2025.
