Chattahoochee Riverkeeper installed a new trash trap in South Fulton
The floating trap, anchored to the bank, is built to capture plastic litter flowing from roadways into a tributary of Utoy Creek.
With support from Georgia River Network, Chattahoochee Riverkeeper installed a new trash trap in the City of South Fulton.
The device will capture plastic litter and other pollutants that flow from the roadways into a tributary of Utoy Creek. The trap is anchored to the bank and floats on the water's surface so wildlife can pass under and over it.
