The Trash and Debris Guard is a pre-treatment and/or stand alone filtration device designed to reduce trash, sediment and debris from entering storm drains.
Features
- Utilizes stainless mounting w/ fiberglass frame and constructed of polypropylene
- Retrofit and new construction applications
- Minimal flow restrictions at curbside-approximately 10%
- Ideal for curb opening or drop in applications
- Utilized in conjunction with other BMPs as part of treatment train to address multiple contaminants in stormwater runoff

Performance
The trash and debris system does not pond water, but instead acts as a filtering device. The controlled flow of water through the filter also reduces safety concerns associated with "ponding” of stagnant water during wet weather events.
- Passive filtration device, no need to remove during wet season
- Durable long capital life span of up to 20 years
Installation
- Simple, easy installation
Maintenance
- Does not require constant monitoring or replacement
- Reduces catch basin maintenance dramatically
- No moving parts or hinge points
- Automatic bypass
- Comes with a full manufacturer’s warranty
