Dandy Curb Bag®

Most Reliable Gutter and Curb Inlet Filter Available

The reusable Dandy Curb Bag® was the first of its kind and remains one of the toughest, most reliable, high-performance curb inlet bags available. Designed for use on curb and gutter inlets, Dandy Curb Bag filters out the most stubborn sediment-laden stormwater. The suspended solids settle out of the slowed flow and are captured by the Curb Bag prior to entering the inlet. Built to last, this proprietary curb inlet filter delivers regulatory-compliant performance every time — better than other curb inlet bags.

Unique Benefits of Dandy Stormwater Compliance Solutions

Proven Erosion and Sediment Control Performance, Again and Again

Dandy Curb Bag is made of the highest quality materials. Its uniquely designed screen pillow measures 22″ x 14″ x 2″ and is filled with a polymer absorbent that has not one, but two attached floatation devices. The oil absorbent material inside captures the oil permanently and turns it into a solid, making cleanup easy.

Protection

Made in America, Shipped Fast

Like all our proprietary products, we make Dandy Curb Bag at our manufacturing facility in Ohio. We maintain high inventory levels so we can drop-ship it to you within 5 days, no matter where you are in the country. This fast turnaround is possible because we only use U.S. suppliers and vendors and have a large distribution network. We can move fast so you can get it fast — even if it’s a custom-sized solution.

This commitment supports the Build America Buy America Act with reliable, high-performance sediment control products.

Shipped

Step 1

With the grate standing on end, place the empty Dandy Curb Bag over the grate.

Step 2

If using optional oil absorbents, place the absorbent pillow on the bottom of the grate pouch.

Step 3

Attach the absorbent pillow to the tether loop.

Step 4

Tuck enclosure flap inside to completely enclose the grate.

Step 5

Holding the lifting straps (DO NOT rely on lifting straps to support the entire weight of the grate), place the grate into its frame (street side first), then lower back edge with dam into place.

Step 6

The Curb Bag is only a reliable curb inlet guard against sediment intrusion if properly installed to partially block the curb hood.

Curb Bag

Maintenance on the Curb Bag is minimal but important:

  • Remove all accumulated sediment and debris from the surface and vicinity of the unit after each storm event.
  • Remove the sediment that has accumulated within the containment area as needed.
  • If using optional oil absorbents, remove and replace the absorbent pillow when near saturation.
