What Can You Do?

Businesses

  • Use dry methods for the clean-up of spills, such as cat litter or dry sweep compound. Do not hose spills, as the water will flow into storm drains.
  • Recycle grease and oil. Do not pour them into sinks or onto parking lots or streets.
  • Store materials in a safe place. Keep all toxic materials in their original containers.
  • Make sure contaminated wash water and chemical discharges are disposed of properly. Do not dump wash water into storm drains.
  • Keep your dumpsters clean and the lids closed, and make sure they are not leaking.
  • Report a discharge to the proper authorities.
