A cylindrical shaped bucket scraper is proposed to collect waste inside storm drain pipes to reduce clogging. Experiments were made to check if more volume can be obtained by the proposed scraper over the conventional one. Based on the results, more waste could be obtained using the cylinder-shaped bucket scraper. Experiments were continued in the field project area using the modified bucket scraper to see whether the modified version of the bucket scraper will be effective under actual field conditions.
