I would support and probably participate in a derby. That is a way good way to think of it for sure. Also the removal of the dumpster to the fertilzer plant or where ever on that same day is a great idea. I would think you could possibly get all the right officials involved or at least thinking with that train of thought. Somewhere for the fish to go is key I think. Even tho they are just carp, and they may be problematic, I just don't like throwing them aside any longer. I understand and don't really care if someone else is but it's just not my thing anymore. Old age? I am sure I am not the only one with those thoughts either.
Dumpster moving daily could get expensive. A long term derby....a few weekends, could put a dent in the fish. How many people could/would participate on just one day. May comes and there are lots of things to do besides a carp derby. Other fishing, little league, track meets, mothers day, etc. A couple weekends or weeks would be ideal. Who would be the benificiary of the carp? Would they help out with the expense of the dumpster? The dumpster owner? Empty barrells? Those are not hard to find as many places who use 55 gallon drums are looking to get rid of them easier/cheaper than they currently do.
A small entry fee, a few sponsers (very minimal) and away you go.
