What Can You Do?

Preventing pollution is less expensive and better for the environment than removing pollution. Recycle your household and automotive chemicals. Learn how to make your own cheaper and eco-friendly household cleaners.

Things you can do at home can adversely affect storm water quality, which can harm aquatic life and ultimately our drinking water.

• Do not dump toxins down a storm drain or drainage ditch.
• Dispose of litter (organic and inorganic) properly.
• Use conservative lawn care practices.
• Follow proper vehicle maintenance practices.
• Capture rain water for later gardening uses.
• Install a permeable pavement patio or driveway.
