Introducing, the


     Swansea Seabin!








     This Seabin has been installed at Swansea Marina as part of                                                           PUMP
     a trial to help keep the marina clean and protect the marine
     environment. Keep Wales Tidy will monitor what the bin collects
     and the impact it has on wildlife.




     How does it work?

     1. The Seabin moves up and down with the tides collecting
     floating litter.

     2. Water is sucked in from the surface by a pump and passes
     through a ‘catch bag’ inside.

     3. The water is then pumped back out leaving the litter and
     debris trapped inside until it can be disposed of.

                                                                                                                                         Has the Seabin
