ABSTRACT:
Collection boxes and method for distributing run-off water utilize upright sides (A) with an open top for positioning at ground level with an entrance connection (B) for receiving an underground pipe, a bottom (C) communicates with a drainage opening (D) for avoiding standing water. An upright unobstructed passageway having a cross-section greater than the cross-section of the entrance connection for the pipe extends above the connection to avoid turbulence in upwardly rising run-off water, and a cover (E) permits water to overflow over a surrounding area carrying with it trash from the box. The boxes are preferably stacked or nested for conserving space during shipment.
