Gutter Bins protect waterways from pollution

Vail, Colorado has 1,100 stormwater inlets that flow into Gore Creek. To combat pollution, the city worked with Frog Creek Partners to install more than 278 Gutter Bins at key locations. The bins filter and capture pollutants like cigarette butts, tire threads, microplastics, and road sediment, which often contains heavy metals and hydrocarbons. On average, each bin traps 40 pounds of pollution annually.

      While gutter bins are an effective and practical solution, it’s important that they are part of a broader waste management and environmental protection strategy
