Trash Capture Devices
What are Trash Capture Devices?
Trash capture devices are collection points designed to allow water to pass through while capturing trash and debris larger than 5 millimeters. These devices may be stand alone in bodies of water or installed into existing infrastructure. Trash capture devices can be installed in catch basins, curb inlets, trench drains or manholes.
Capturing Trash on Your Property
There are hundreds of trash capture designs, so finding the system that works for your property can be easy. AQUALIS installs and maintains trash capture devices across the country. If your municipality requires treatment for trash or heavy metals, reach out to AQUALIS today and we can implement the best device for your needs.
Similar to proprietary devices, trash capture devices can be trademarked innovations that offer solutions for water quality. Trash capture devices are often inserts that can be quickly installed post-construction, while proprietary devices are large pre-cast systems that require invasive installation.

Swales are designed with soil that allows water to infiltrate the ground, providing ground water recharge. Many SCMs utilize sunlight to facilitate evaporation and vegetation to facilitate denitrification
