The nonprofit\u2019s president, Chris Pallister, said Waste Management applied for a permit about two weeks ago to accept the debris into its yard, where it will be sorted.<\/p>\n<p>Pallister said he is not sure how long it will take to get the permit.<\/p>\n<p>Pallister\u2019s organization has been working with another group called Parley for the Oceans, which will sort through the debris and recycle it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey make designer clothing out of it. Any plastic that they can use in their process. I think they\u2019re gonna take all the nets and lines and then they get it all and run it through their process and come up with a fiber at the end of it,\u201d Pallister said.<\/p>\n<p>The groups will be able to move the debris into storage and later recycle it once a permit has been issued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWaste Management\u2019s doing their very best to get it sorted out, and they really, truly want to recycle this stuff, so they\u2019re going to the extra mile to make it happen and they\u2019re providing their yard free of charge and the rest of it, and Parley\u2019s putting money into building containment facilities and things like that, so everybody\u2019s trying really hard to get this done,\u201d Pallister said.<\/p>\n<p>Pallister said this is the first time his organization has gone through the process of sorting through a marine debris cleanup. He said they will be more prepared for the process in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that even Waste Management didn\u2019t realize we\u2019d need a permit and none of us did, of course, and if we knew this, we would have applied,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KODIAK \u2014 Organizers of a cleanup along coastlines in Alaska and British Columbia are waiting for authorization to be able to sort through a pile of marine debris that has been delivered to Seattle.
