Cleaner Waters for the United States and America's First Family
This Bandalong Litter Trap was installed in Washington DC by our USA licensed partners Storm Water Systems in April 2009 and is the first Litter Trap to be installed in the USA. As clearly visible in these recent photos the litter trap again show how effective they are at capturing litter in our waterways. This is only one of many thousands planned to be installed throughout the USA. Well done to the team at Storm Water Systems USA.
Those attending the unveiling of the first Litter Trap in North America included Washington DC Mayor Adrian M Fenty, Storm Water Systems USA, Bandalong International Australia, District Department of the Environment, Anacostia Riverkeeper, Earth Conservation Corps and hundreds of other special guests. This event was held on 12 May 09.
Another step toward saving our Great Barrier Reef
Litter trap number two for Cairns Regional Council, installed in June 2009 at Moody Creek by James from Bandalong, crane operator Richard and DTE excavations.
This site has a tidal difference of around 1.5 metres and an approximate width of 25 metres. The litter shown in these pictures was collected even before we had completed the installation.
Shows that the Bandalong litter traps start working from the minute they hit the water.
The Bandalong Litter Trap floats on waterways, given buoyancy by exceptionally strong and durable polyethylene pipes. The unit is held in place by galvanised chains attached to ground anchors or fitted to rider poles for canal installations.
