You can help to protect the City's storm sewer system from pollutants by:

• Picking up any spills of automotive fluids, pesticides, fertilizers or other materials on your property immediately so they do not reach the curb and gutter
• Use only the amount of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers that is necessary to do the job
• Dispose of empty containers of automotive fluids, pesticides, fertilizers or other materials properly by enclosing them in a plastic bag before putting them in the trash
• Bring household hazardous waste to one of the City's scheduled Household Hazardous Waste Events
