How LittaTrap™ Works

As stormwater flows into the catchpit, the LittaTrap™ filter basket traps floating litter and debris, including plastic packaging and organic matter. This simple yet effective design makes LittaTrap™ an ideal solution for sites where litter is a major concern, such as car parks, retail areas, and high-traffic zones.

Why Maintenance Matters

A well-maintained LittaTrap™ ensures pollutants are captured and water flows freely. If the basket becomes full or blocked, water cannot pass through, increasing the risk of flooding and non-compliance with stormwater regulations.

Professional LittaTrap™ Maintenance Services

At Dutton Stormwater, we provide complete LittaTrap™ maintenance services across New Zealand, including cleaning, inspection, and replacement of filter components. Our team ensures your stormwater system remains efficient, compliant, and environmentally responsible.

Recommended Service Frequency

LittaTrap™ filters typically require maintenance every three to six months, depending on site conditions and litter loading. During each service, we review the device’s condition and include a tailored recommendation in your service report.

Keen to Empty the LittaTrap™ Basket Yourself?

If you’d like to take a hands-on approach and empty your LittaTrap™ basket yourself, Dutton Stormwater makes it easy and safe. We’re proud to introduce our newly patented Catchpit Grate Lifter—the same tool our professionals use to safely access and remove LittaTrap™ baskets.

If you have any questions or would like a demonstration, just ask one of our friendly crew members when they’re onsite, or contact us at info@duttonstormwater.co.nz.
