The Beach Team traveled more than 50 kilometers to reach Tanjungan Beach in Bangsring Village, a hidden coastal gem known for its calm shoreline and thriving coral reefs just beneath the surface. What they found on arrival was a different picture: debris scattered across nearly the entire coastline. Starting from the northern end and working south, the crew combed through sand, vegetation, and rocky areas where waste had become trapped. Filled sacks had to be carried long distances back to the weighing point, with repeated trips across the beach under the heat. By the end, the team had collected 554.9 pounds of waste across 44 sacks.

The River Team carried out a cleanup at the Yosomulyo Riverboom, where large amounts of plastic waste had trapped against the net barrier. Seeing the scale, Captain Ari Surya Prayoga doubled the crew from three to six. One member was stationed behind the net to catch debris slipping through while the rest worked at the accumulation point and along the surrounding riverbed. For two hours, the team removed waste piece by piece as the water gradually began flowing freely again. In total, 16 sacks totaling 260.4 pounds of plastic waste were pulled from the river. "Rivers become garbage roads that eventually lead to the ocean," said Captain Ari. "That's why we install trash traps to stop waste before it reaches the wider marine ecosystem." 

Supported by AquaOmega, the Riverboom Team responded to a report from local residents about plastic waste obstructing water flow in the Jatirejo area. Captain Ach. Hasan Izzudin mobilized the crew for the 15-kilometer journey, and after a quick on-site briefing, the team entered the drainage area and began removing the blockage by hand. Working in tight coordination, they pulled debris free piece by piece as the waterway gradually returned to normal flow. By the end, the crew had collected 113.2 pounds of plastic waste across six sacks, including plastic bags, bottles, foam, sandals, and other single-use materials. 

The Riverboom Team arrived at the Temuguruh River to find a calm surface hiding a heavy overnight buildup against the trap net: plastic packaging, bottles, and tangled branches piled against the barrier. The crew stepped into the water and began clearing waste from the net while others combed through surrounding rocks where debris had become trapped. The uneven, rocky riverbed made every movement more difficult, forcing crew members to move cautiously while carrying heavy sacks through the current. By the end, the team had collected 271.2 pounds of plastic waste across 15 sacks. 

The Riverboom Team returned to the Gambiran trash net for a routine cleanup at one of their key interception points between Yosomulyo Village and Gambiran Village. The net had caught another heavy load of debris from the water flow, and Captain Ari Surya Prayoga led the crew through a clean operation with sacks weighed on site before transport back to base. The team collected 178.9 pounds of plastic waste across nine sacks: bottles, sandals, foam, plastic bags, cups, toothbrushes, and other single-use materials consistently found in the region's waterways. 

The River Team traveled to Muara Parang Ireng, an estuary inside Alas Purwo National Park known for its striking shoreline and white sand formations shaped by river currents and ocean tides. Beneath the natural beauty, waste carried from upstream had scattered throughout the waterway. The crew spread across the estuary and began removing debris piece by piece, but the biggest challenge came from massive piles of driftwood and bamboo: much of the plastic was buried underneath or wedged between the wood, forcing slow, careful extraction. By the end, the team had collected 988.3 pounds of plastic waste across 55 sacks.
