"Until
the emergence of the Bandalong Litter Trap, a
solution to the problem of litter
from
urban runoff had eluded the City and fellow Satilla
River stakeholders.
The
Bandalong system was simple to install, requiring
minimal stream buffer
encroachment
and no impact on the regulatory floodway which made
it
economical
to deploy.To
date it has performed without a glitch,
providing
a simple, low maintenance means of intercepting
litter
- Frank Baugh, City Engineer, Waycross, GA
The Bandalong Litter TrapTM is designed to float
in waterways in order to capture litter before it
flows downstream by using the current to guide
debris into the trap.
Continuously operating 365 days a year without any
mechanical assistance to capture floating litter,
the Bandalong is a proven cost effective solution to
a growing litter problem.
The
Bandalong Litter Trap has been cleaning waterways in
Australia and Asia for more than 10 years.
Litter and
debris floating on top of the water enters into
the trap and is captured for later removal
Patented gate
prevents litter and debris from exiting the trap
Anchored into
place for maximum efficiency
Statistics and Construction
Two sizes: 5 X 22 and weighs
approximately 600 lbs.
10 X 29 and weighs approximately 1100 lbs.
Constructed of Aluminum and High Density
Polyethylene (HDPE)
Pre-assembled offsite for efficient installation
Manufactured in Cleveland, GA
No nets or fencing underneath, fish and wildlife
are unaffected by the traps
Anchors keep the Bandalong Litter Trap
stationary in waterways
Water Requirements
Requires 8 - 10 for flotation, but may
temporarily sit in a dry area
Works effectively with a flow rate of eight to
ten feet of water per second, but can be
designed to withstand higher flow rates
Ideal for areas with current more than six feet
wide.
Effective in rivers, streams, creeks, lakes,
drainage culverts with tidal basins, ports,
harbors, marinas, etc.
Rises and falls with water levels and is ideal
for tidal reaches
Litter that is caught in the trap will not be
dislodged by wind, choppy currents or tides
Unique Features
Custom signs, demonstrating anti-litter or clean
water campaigns and sponsors, are available for
the top of the units
May be fitted with the patented Mycelx filter to
catch hydrocarbons
May be equipped with flashing solar navigation
lights powered with lifelong batteries
