Protect our Rivers & Streams

Stop Drain Pollution-Remember storm drains empty into our waterways.

Don’t Litter – Place litter in trash cans.
Don’t Dump Oil, Antifreeze or other chemicals down the storm drain.
Don’t allow your car to leak fluids. Fluids wash into storm drains when it rains.
Don’t allow oil or paint spills to accumulate on driveways or sidewalk.
Don’t wash leaves, twigs or dirt into storm drains. Even natural materials can pollute water.
Don’t wash out paint brushes, pans or rollers in the gutter.
Drop off toxic chemicals at your local hazardous waste collection. Visit www.brrfoc.org for the collection dates and locations
