Kaipara District Council, NZ stormwater trash traps

In Progress

Kaipara District Council partnered with Northland Regional Council and NorthTec to install eight LittaTraps inside local stormwater grates. The LittaTraps collect roadside trash before it accumulates in the waterways. During the pilot, NorthTec is regularly examining the traps to monitor the volume and type of trash entering the Council's stormwater systems.
