Bandalong Litter Trap
The Bandalong Floating Litter Trap is a floating device installed at strategic locations along waterways to collect and retain floating litter, vegetation and other debris.

The system operates silently without any mechanical assistance, capturing and retaining debris ready for removal and disposal.

Bandalong Litter Traps are suitable for most waterways wider than 2 metres, including waterways subject to tidal action, rivers, streams, channels and open bodies of 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.

Outspread collection booms direct floating litter through a one-way mesh gate into the trap where it is retained ready for removal. Tidal re-entrainment is prevented by a system of counterweights and paddles.

MODELS
  • The 'CBD' version is approximately 4 metres long x 2 metres wide with the collection booms normally 3 metres long.
  • The 'standard' version is approximately 9 metres long x 3 metres wide. The collection booms at the front of the unit can vary in length but are usually 3 metres or 6 metres long.
Bandalong Boom System

The Bandalong Boom System is installed across waterways, acting as a final barrier to collect or deflect debris.

The system operate silently without any medical assistance, captuing and retaining debris ready for removal and disposal.
Floating boom sections are coupled together to span across waterways, capturing litter and preventing it from floating further downstream. The boom sections are manufactured from exceptionally strong and durable polyethylene pipe.

The boom sections are equipped with anti-vandal fittings and have a rubber sleeve over the joint to stop any litter escaping through the joint section.

An aluminium mesh skirt under the bottom of the pipe traps any submerged litter or logs.
