Early stormwater management primarily targeted the removal of sand, sediment, dirt, trash, and oil from runoff. However, the focus has now shifted to heavy metals due to their high toxicity and significant public health risks.
Standard geotextiles and filter fabrics are ineffective at removing heavy metals. To address this, we use a specialised blend of filter media. Ultra-Drain Guard Heavy Metal Removal model removes hydrocarbons, heavy metals, sediments, and other organics from stormwater and industrial runoff.

Please check with your local authorities on the proper disposal. Since it is likely filled with heavy metals and hydrocarbons, a standard landfill may not be appropriate.
We want to make sure that ALL of the water goes through the filter media in the body of the Ultra-Drain Guard. In most cases, the geotextile material we use with our other Ultra-Drain Guards is sufficient to remove many of the pollutants. But it (the geotextile material) is not designed to filter or capture heavy metals.
