U.S. Foundry has a wide range of cast iron catch basins, grates, and inlet covers permanently cast with several fish and manatee emblems and “DUMP NO WASTE, DRAINS TO ...” messaging. U.S. Foundry castings are an effective, low cost means to discourage illicit dumping. Unlike stenciled messages or other short-lived approaches, our environmentally friendly designs serve as an enduring directive against dumping. U.S. Foundry is proud to play an active role in protecting water quality.
