Don’t pour household products such as cleansers, beauty products, used motor oil and other auto fluids, paint, lawn care, or household chemicals on the ground or in storm drains.
Don’t pour any of the products listed above down the sink or flush them down the toilet.
Sweep driveways and sidewalks clean. Remove debris and residue that could end up in a storm drain from concrete and paved areas around your house.
Recycle yard debris or use it to make compost rather than raking it into streets where it can wash into storm sewers.

When washing the car, park it on the grass instead of in the driveway or use a commercial car wash.
