We have designed the LittaTrap™ to be lightweight so it can be lifted out by hand, taking away any expensive maintenance costs. If Health & Safety guidelines are followed, anyone can maintain a LittaTrap™. Please see our maintenance video.
The LittaTrap™ is easy to install if you have the right equipment. We have an installation instructional guide that goes through the step-by-step process. Please see this here. In some areas, we have installation contractors we work with that we can provide details for. Contact us at info@enviropod.com for more details.
The LittaTrap™ has been developed by specialist stormwater engineering company Stormwater360 New Zealand, which has over 25 years’ experience in developing stormwater management solutions. The LittaTrap™ is a highly engineered solution that accommodates high contaminant & hydraulic loading and has been independently tested in both New Zealand & Canada.
Yes, we install in shallower pits that most of the competition. Each project is different, so feel free to contact us to see if our product can fit your depth constraints.
Our modelling has shown that using our products as pre-treatment can reduce the biofiltration devices required footprint by up to 20 percent.
Yes, we work with Renew Solutions as a third party maintenance provider to make sure our customers are charged fairly for device upkeep.
EnviroPod™ products are available at our nationwide distributor REECE (www.reece.com.au).
The EnviroPod200™ is a modular device that can suit a range of gully pit inlet sizes. Email info@enviropod.com with details, and we can provide a design that suits.
The depth of the EnviroPod200™ basket is 400mm.
EnviroPod™ is a global leader in stormwater pollution prevention, providing high-performance at-source solutions that capture trash, sediment, and pollutants before they enter waterways. Founded in 1996, EnviroPod combines over 25 years of engineering expertise and innovation to deliver award-winning products that help tackle the global stormwater trash problem and reduce marine plastic pollution.
EnviroPod™ provides at-source stormwater solutions, including the LittaTrap™ and EnviroBasin™, that help cities, councils, and industries meet or exceed local and national stormwater regulations in the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
These systems can deliver full trash capture and effective stormwater treatment, ensuring compliance with stormwater discharge permits and environmental protection standards.
With the inclusion of performance liners, EnviroPod™ solutions can also be tailored to target specific contaminants such as sediment, nutrients, and heavy metals, offering a scalable, compliant approach to water quality improvement.
EnviroPod™ solutions are modular, easy to retrofit or install, and independently verified for performance, making them a reliable solution for stormwater management. With over 65,000 installations worldwide, EnviroPod™ combines innovation, sustainability, and technical reliability to effectively protect waterways and prevent pollution globally.
The LittaTrap™ is a catch basin filter insert designed to capture trash, debris, and plastic pollution before it enters the stormwater system. Flexible and easy to install, it is widely used by municipalities, commercial sites, and industrial facilities to protect waterways and improve stormwater quality. The LittaTrap™ can also include the EnviroPod™ Performance Liner to target specific pollutants.
The LittaTrap™ is installed inside a stormwater catch basin on engineered brackets and uses a patented design to capture and store gross solids from stormwater runoff.
How it functions:
1. Stormwater enters the catch basin through a grate or curb inlet and flows into the LittaTrap™ filter insert system.
2. The LittaTrap™ basket captures trash, debris, and other pollutants while allowing water to pass through to the outlet pipe.
3. During high flows or when the basket is full, excess water is safely released through overflow bypass apertures in the frame.
Maintenance: Easy and straightforward, it can be performed by a single person by hand lifting the insert out and emptying it into the trash or by a vactor truck.
The LittaTrap™ FC is California Water Board Full Trash Capture Certified by the CA State Water Board and is now available in California to meet stormwater regulations. The LittaTrap™ FC has been verified by MVCAC to ensure that inspection and treatment for the purpose of minimizing mosquito production is possible by MVCAC operation.
It is also an official supporter of Operation Clean Sweep in the USA & New Zealand. It is endorsed by the plastic industry associations in New Zealand, Canada, and Australia. It’s a key technology for Operation Clean Sweep compliance and preventing plastic pellet loss with the inclusion of the nurdle performance liner, reaching zero pellet loss.
The LittaTrap™ is trusted by public works, cities, developers, private owners and major industries, including the petrochemical, logistics, and manufacturing sectors, to capture pollutants and reduce stormwater contamination at the source. It helps organizations meet environmental regulations and achieve stormwater compliance while protecting local waterways.
By installing a LittaTrap™ inside a catch basin, all plastic and pollutants caught up in stormwater runoff are retained inside the patented basket, stopping this pollution from reaching the waterways.
Installation of a LittaTrap™ can also reduce the risk of stormwater infrastructure blocking further downstream by acting as pre-treatment for other treatment devices.
The LittaTrap™ typically requires maintenance two to four times a year across Canada. The most commonly used unit in Canada is designed with 45 litres of storage capacity, keeping maintenance cycles low.
Please note, this number can vary, and EnviroPod™ recommends regular checks of LittaTrap™ units for the first year post-installation to establish a site-specific maintenance plan.
We have developed a measuring method where we ask you to take photos of the catch basin/s so we can determine the correct size LittaTrap™. We require your assistance by following the step-by-step instructions in this video.
Please ensure that you have location services turned on your smartphone device. Also, please take note of the Health & Safety recommendations on the video.
As leaves enter the LittaTrap™ unit, subsequent water pressure compresses incoming leaves and ensures they will lot clog, blind or quickly fill the LittaTrap™ unit. Enviropod does advise maintenance both before and after the fall period to minimize the effect of leaves on overall storage capacity.
The LittaTrap™ is available in the following standard catch basin sizes: 675x450 and 450x450. The LittaTrap™ can also be adapted to fit round manholes. We can also manufacture custom sizes for non-standard catch basin sizes. Please contact a sales representative to discuss on info@enviropod.com.at
A standardly sized LittaTrap™ unit has been designed to ensure viable hand-maintenance at full capacity. EnviroPod™ advises that the unit is lifted by two workers who are trained in standard lifting techniques with equipment as necessary to avoid putting unnecessary weight on the lifters' backs.
