Dandy Curb Sack®
One of the greatest environmental concerns we face these days is soil erosion. This is a widespread problem due to the rise of urbanization and a multitude of construction projects that are ongoing. When buildings are constructed, the land is ripped up and dug out, exposing the soil to possible erosion.
Sediments dug up during construction can find their way to the city’s water system through storm sewers, storm grates and storm inlets. This includes large projects and small projects (like the new home being built on your block), alike.
Because of the potential danger to our environment, the government has required contractors to use a professional-grade inlet filter and to erect their own sediment control solutions and measures when starting any new project.

Installation and Maintenance Guidelines
Installation:
- Remove the grate from the catch basin and stand on end.
- Move the top by lifting strap out of the way and place the grate into the Dandy Curb Sack so that the grate is below the top straps and above the lower straps.
- Now position the top straps back in place so that they are on top of the grate.
- Grab top straps and carefully insert the Dandy Curb Sack into grate frame.
- Make sure cylindrical portion is up against the curb to prevent silt, sediment, and debris from entering inlet here.
Maintenance:
- Remove all accumulated sediment and debris from vicinity of the unit after each storm event.
- After storm event and at regular intervals, look into the Dandy Curb Sack. If the containment area is more than 1/3 full of sediment, the unit must be emptied.
- To empty unit, simply lift the unit out of the inlet using the lifting straps and remove the grate.
- If using optional absorbents, replace absorbent pillow when near saturation.
