Keeping Canada’s waterways free from pollution.

City staff are always looking for ways to help protect the environment. For our team that means looking at ways of treating and reducing the impacts of stormwater pollution on water bodies. The new LittaTrap Pilot Program looks to reduce stormwater pollution downtown and we hope to quantify this into 2022. This initiative also helps support building a greener Barrie, one of City Council’s goals.

'Plastics New Zealand is the local industry association for plastics manufacturers and raw materials suppliers. We’ve worked closely with EnviroPod™ to give our plastics companies practical solutions for preventing accidental pollution into stormwater systems. LittaTraps and EnviroPods are now installed at many sites across New Zealand, with companies reporting satisfaction with their performance and the ease of maintenance of the devices. Plastics NZ is happy to recommend these EnviroPod™ products as a simple and effective solution to contain the accidental loss of plastics on industrial sites.'

The Enviropod technologies are a cost effective, easily maintained approach to managing pollutants and debris washing off our Yard from our snowmelting and general road maintenance operations. By installing LittaTraps  we have found a simple, practical and effective solution to filter runoff and reduce the debris making its way into the stormwater system.
