Gutter Bins are drain grates that filter up to 125 pounds of microplastics, trash, and other debris per month into durable storage bags. The city's Stormwater Enterprise and Frog Creek Partners first trialed three Gutter Bins in 2019. An additional six bins were installed in 2020 following initial success. Colorado Springs created a Clean Water Community Challenge for businesses and local organizations to sponsor the installation of branded Gutter Bins.
