WA-first trial to investigate effectiveness of Gross Pollutant Traps
Ecologically important Herdsman Lake selected as trial site
Supports WA Government’s Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2030
Water Minister Dave Kelly today announced that the installation of specialised traps designed to capture plastic and floating litter on stormwater drains at Herdsman Lake had been completed under a new Water Corporation trial funded by the McGowan Government.
Three Gross Pollutant Traps (GPTs) have been fitted to drainage inlets and outlets at the lake, which is an important urban habitat for waterbirds and other native fauna.
The two-year trial will assess the devices’ effectiveness and determine operational requirements such as maintenance and litter disposal.

Food and organics waste to be composted in new service
The City of Melbourne is introducing a new food and organics collection service to help local residents reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.
As part of the service, residents living in houses and single-storey apartment blocks will be provided with:
A new lime-green wheelie bin for food and organic waste (120 litre)
a kitchen caddy for collecting food scraps, and
a roll of 52 compostable bin liners to help keep their new bin free of odours, which will be supplied for free on an ongoing basis.
Lord Mayor Sally Capp said more than 9000 homes will receive the initial service before the rollout continues more widely across the municipality in 2022.
