Simple Things You Can Do to Prevent Storm Water Pollution

  • Never pour anything into a gutter or storm drain.
  • Recycle used oil.
  • Clean up after your pets. Dispose of pet waste in a bag, and dump it in the garbage.
  • Don’t litter. Cigarette Butts and trash drain from the streets directly into our creeks.
  • Wash your car on your lawn or at a car wash. • Use environmentally friendly soaps and household cleaners.
  • Limit the amount of fertilizer you use on your lawn or garden.
  • Don’t fertilize when rain is forecast.
  • If you must use pesticides, or herbicides, never use them in wet weather.
  • Use Integrated Pest Management (IPM), rather than pesticides. (Find out about IPM at www.ipm.ucdavis.edu)
  • Choose Clean Water Business Partners to clean your carpets and landscape your yard.
