It has been over two years since the trash screen was installed. The screen has been performing well with only minor maintenance required – re-stretching the chain link fence into its original shape every few months, clearing away larges branches occasionally, and re-pounding the four posts into the stream bed once or twice a year. I notice that if we have heavy rain on our community’s Trash Pick Up Day, there will be a lot of trash captured in the screen.
