How does trash get to Trash Island?

Question

Does it just collect there, or is it sent there? Whose idea was it, and why can't it just be destroyed? Tell me whatever you know about it. Also, where can I get a picture of it?

Answer 1

Here are some sites that describe what, where and how.  It wasn't planned, it happened because of carelessness and a lack of awareness.
