As notatoad notes: it's entirely impractical. There's no such thing as anchoring in the depths (3-5000m IIRC) prevailing in the Pacific gyre hosting the 'garbage patch'. This alone would require a revolution in marine engineering. The frankly silly idea was quickly walked back, but it was an early & vivid demonstration of the hapless naiveity underlying the whole enterprise.
