The odd-looking defiler was uploaded to social networking sites, prompting environmentalists to call it a "genius."
One netizen called it a "giant polluted tea bag," while others said it looked like a cheap solution.
The two nets are said to be located between residential areas and natural areas at two drain exits. A total of 370 kg of garbage was collected during the six-month trial period.
Mayor Adams (Carol Adams) says the pilot project has been a huge success.
The total cost of the project is A $20, 000, including design, manufacture and installation.
The Quinana Council has now selected three additional sites to be installed.
