Worse, they will be paying to recycle (dispose of) it. Right now there are major issues and limitations in the processing of even the generally clean/sorted and re-usable plastics from residential collection. Some recycling facilities are being forced to simply dispose of even these materials as they would any other waste.

What they are collecting is partially broken down by ocean salts and UV light, and has absorbed contaminants (a lot of these plastics are actually from fishing equipment, but the post-consumer component largely enters the ocean via some exceptionally polluted river systems). These are going to be small and unmarked plastic pieces, you would need spectrographic analysis on each piece to determine the type of plastic before it could be recycled.
