Let's see.
You remove the grate.
Shovel out the dirt, debris and veg.
Place it in the gutter.
Done.

Not a good plan IMO.

If it’s so easy then why aren’t they all done?

Btw, didn’t a contractor just get fired and fined last week for illegally disposing of the shite they pulled out of these basins,

What are these hipsters Going to do with the shite they pull out? Is the City going to Fine them if they don’t dispose of it legally?

It’s a trap. I will leave my catch basin as it it and if my house floods then that’s what i pay insurance for.


BTW, all the catch basins around my house are free and clear.

The lines are going to be so fricking silted in that this is ultimately a huge waste of time.

You got the substances wrong in a lot of neighborhoods

If you get seriously injured scraping dirty needles, used condoms, broken drug pipes, tossed away hand guns, etc out of a drain then you deserve it

Something we found out from electricians who have to do some work in NOLA tunnels:If there are no cockroaches, get out. Cockroaches are a sign of good air. No cockroaches means either carbon monoxide or other killer gases.

I don't think most people understand how deep these things are, and how compacted they have become. It's more than just cleaning visible debris from the grates.
