Nelson City Council, NZ studies waste entering the stormwater system during litter basket pilot

Nelson City Council, NZ Stormwater Litter Basket Pilot

In Arbeit

Litter baskets were added to stormwater drains at four locations in Nelson's city center. Each location features a distinct traffic profile ranging from a pedestrian walkway to a high-traffic street. The baskets collect leaves, plastic wrappers, and paper waste that would otherwise enter local waterways. Early samples from the baskets identified harmful contaminants like arsenic and total hydrocarbons. Nelson City Council will evaluate how to best expand the program based on pilot data.
