Why doesn't the City of Mobile just put a worker out in a boat removing the trash after each heavy rain? It would produce way better results and probably be would be cheaper than installing and maintaining a dozen litter traps...
Storm water trash passing black line #7 is the sum total of the trash coming from points #1 thru #6 which are other tributaries and ditches. City of Mobile public works says the new Litter Trap is expected to catch 70 percent of the trash floating past Point 1 in Eslava Creek. Storm water trash will continue to flow freely from tributaries #2 thru #6 and can be expected to accumulate downstream in Dog River where it typically ends up after heavy rains. Downstream Dog River residents should not expect much more than a 12-20 percent reduction of litter if the City of Mobile can ever get the Litter Trap working. A costly project for such a low reduction of litter.

You ask: Why doesn't the City of Mobile just put a worker out in a boat removing the trash after each heavy rain? Maybe because they're idiots. The City of Mobile has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they don't care about the city or its residents or the total environment. So sad. I'm sorry....
