The reduction of urban litter in the stormwater drains of South Africa
Urban litter (alternatively called trash, debris, flotsam, jetsam, floatables, gross pollutants, rubbish or solid waste) is a major problem in South Africa. It accumulates in public areas until either someone removes it, or it is transported by the wind and/or stormwater runoff into the drainage system. The current paper summarises the results of research into the control of urban litter in urban catchments, and the cost-effective removal of that portion that makes it way into separated stormwater drainage systems.
