Trash Removal Solution

TrashTrap netting systems combine the natural energy of water flow with disposable mesh nets to capture and easily remove trash, floatables and solids from stormwater and wastewater. The systems can be adapted to a variety of applications; several net size combinations are available.

Proven Performance

Black and white logo with stylized waves above the text "STEPP Stormwater Testing and Evaluation for Products and Practices.

STEPP Verified and conforms to ASTM 3332

Logo of California Water Boards with wavy lines and text mentions State and Regional Water Quality Control Boards.

Certified by the California State Water Resources Control Board as a full capture/ high flow capacity trash device

25 years of experience in manufacturing, installing and maintaining netting systems

Trusted Technology

A grid overlay is placed on a curved gray shape with scattered white leaf-like and dot patterns.

Three-dimensional netting technology removes floatables, trash and debris while providing a larger surface area than traditional two-dimensional screens

Abstract geometric design with a grid overlay, featuring curved shapes and a gear icon in the top right corner.

Less maintenance is required because nets can accommodate a larger volume of material, and do not need mechanical devices to remove blockages

Two gray circular shapes resembling diamonds, labeled "50 CF" on the left and "100 CF" on the right, with simple line art showing diamond facets on top.

Nets can accommodate a large volume of material (standard sizes – 50-100cf/net)

Efficient Design

Utilizes the passive energy of water flow to drive pollutants into nets, no electricity needed

A gray exponential curve rises steeply on a graph with an arrow at the end; the letter "Q" is placed near the curve's upper section.

Engineered to meet site-specific requirements, can accommodate any flow

Hydraulic relief prevents flooding while containing trash and debris, even when the event exceeds the design flow

Environmental Solution

Trash and debris are contained and drained dry, reducing further decay and leaching into water

No confined space entry is required, as net change-out is done at the surface

Scales can be attached to lifting equipment for easy measurement of debris to meet environmental permit requirements

Standard Configurations

In-line Module

The in-line module is completely hidden from view, installed underground and upstream of the outfall. Components are installed in a high-strength precast concrete chamber, and servicing is easy due to ground-level access. In-line modules are installed in very tight locations and easily retrofit into almost any stormwater system.

End-of-Pipe Module

End-of-pipe modules are utilized where the end of the collection system enters the water course. They easily retrofit to existing outfall structures, and the robust design can handle very large storm events.

Floating Module

Floating modules perform in the same manner as end-of-pipe systems, but they float on the water. The pontoon structure floats constantly at water level, and funnel and side curtains direct trash into nylon nets. Floating modules can accommodate high storm events, and the prefabricated structure makes for fast installation.
