Hey Captain this container is holding all the trash together, can we open it to spread it all over?

I've never called them that. Of course I didn't know about them or sail a lot and my mastery of English is questionable at best.

It's actually a big danger in areas because they don't sink. They stay just below the water surface for a period of time. If you sail in a
boat with a fiber plastic hull, you are fucked if you hit one. Several sinkings have happened that way.

In rough seas they jettison the top containers for safety. Its why you pay more to have your container/s closer to the bottom
