Tl;DR: The amount of energy you would need to move all the mass of the structures you need is so high, that it would take over a million years, to make such an investment be profitable. The engineering part is a hold different aspect. In short the answer, if you're are bored and willing to use centuries upon centuries worth of energy to built it, then yes. But mostly no.

Well. I had to watch something in school, about how it is the US fault, because they just ship their problems to other countries, without the necessary infrastructure to deal with it.

Though I do think a real big problem lies with the manafacturers. They make recycling hard as fuck, with ysing all kinds of miterails together that, that are hard to sort from eachother. Also many countries don't have the necessary infrastructure to deal with garbage, so they just throw it in the ocean, and since things like plastic degrade very slowly, they accumulate and create thebbig garbage patch.
