Trash Traps are purpose-built stormwater litter traps that sit in urban creeks and streams keeping man-made trash from entering main waterways. Roadside littering accounts for approximately 75% of the trash in our nations waterways. Each time it rains, trash is funneled through our storm drain systems directly into our creeks. No filters or other mechanisms are in place to keep the trash from entering our waterways. Learn more about the Trash Trap program.
