 Eventually the grills will clog up with hair etc., and block the pipes leading into the primary tanks.  This will cause the wedge to overflow

The screenings need time to dry in the shute, but if not moved along will form a blockage and the screen will start to put material into the grit trap

The screenings have to go to landfill

Bag all debris from within and around the shute
