Mesh Nets Are Helping To Reduce Pollution


A city in West Australia has started putting netting over drainage pipes to reduce pollution.

The City of Kwinana has hailed the trial of drainage nets a success as it continues its journey towards less waste and increased sustainability.

The nets were first installed at just two locations in an effort to reduce trash from drainage systems within the city, particularly in areas where road drainage is discharged into public open spaces and reserves.

During the trial that lasted a few months, 370kg of debris consisting of food wrappers, plastic bottles, sand and tree leaves was cleaned out of the nets.
