A picture says it all.

Captured today in Fort Worth, Texas, this Bandalong Litter Trap is doing exactly what it was designed to do—collecting floating trash before it can move farther downstream.

Join us next week at the Keep America Beautiful Summit in New Orleans!

Storm Water Systems will be exhibiting and sharing how our Bandalong Litter Trap, Bandalong Bandit, and StormX solutions are helping communities catch litter upstream before it reaches our oceans.

Trash doesn’t start in rivers.
It starts upstream.
Every bottle, wrapper, and cup we intercept with a Bandalong system represents litter that didn’t make it to a lake, bay, or ocean.

Big week in Tucson! We installed two Bandalong Bandits to help stop floating litter in the Santa Cruz River before it moves downstream.

Huge thanks to the partners who made this happen: Cox Media, Sonoran Institute, and Dr. Luke.

Happy New Year!

New year. Same mission.
Cleaner waterways start upstream—and continue one installation at a time.

[Storm Water Systems @StormWaterSystm]

As we head toward the end of the year, we’re taking a moment to look back at the work done across our waterways.

We’ve shared a short year-in-review newsletter highlighting installations, collaborations, education efforts, and what’s ahead.

We’ve seen a lot of unexpected things pass through our litter traps over the years—but this might be the most surprising one yet. 🎅

From everyday debris to holiday visitors, our traps are still hard at work protecting waterways everywhere.
Happy holiday from Storm Water Systems

[Storm Water Systems @StormWaterSystm]

Our team may take a holiday. Our traps don’t.
Bandalong and StormX systems work 24/7, even during the holidays, keeping litter out of rivers and streams when runoff still happens.

[Storm Water Systems @StormWaterSystm]

As we wrap up 2025, we want to say thank you to the partners who worked alongside us to protect waterways across the country.

From riverkeepers and conservation groups to municipalities, universities, engineers, and volunteers—real impact only happens through collaboration.

[Storm Water Systems @StormWaterSystm]

The Bandalong Bandit fits where bigger traps can’t—keeping trash from slipping through small creeks and tributaries. It’s lightweight, durable, and makes a real difference upstream.

Small trap. Big impact.

Curious how our litter traps help keep rivers cleaner? This quick three-question highlight breaks it down in seconds. Clean water starts upstream—and the right tools make all the difference.

Happy Thanksgiving from Storm Water Systems!

Wishing you a safe and restful holiday with the people you love. 🍁🦃💧
