Litter Boom

OSPREY LITTER BOOM

Osprey Litter Boom is specifically designed for long-term installations to contain and collect floating litter and debris in freshwater or saltwater environments. Components are selected, and the design is engineered to surpass the capabilities of common floating barriers, such as oil containment booms. Features a smooth exterior profile with no seals between floats that could trap floating litter and prevent laminar flow into collection areas or Litter Gitters (Floating Collection cages).

AMPOL’S OIL STOP DIVISION is having great success with its LITTER BOOM. Oil Stop designed a Kayak Gate to allow passage of recreational boats through the collection area. With our partner, Osprey Initiative, www.osprey.world , litter is collected, catalogued, and separated for recycling. Documenting the litter helps to provide source data that helps to prevent future contamination.

We currently have Litter Boom in over 60 installations around the USA with one in Mexico, and another in Canada.

Litter Boom is manufactured for Osprey Initiative, LLC by Oil Stop Division of American Pollution Control Corp.
