What can I do to make a difference at home and reduce the amount of stormwater pollution?

What can I do to make a difference at home and reduce the amount of stormwater pollution?

Amazingly enough, you can make a huge difference in stormwater quality by simply changing a few practices at home. Here are six easy steps:

  1. Wash your car on the lawn
  2. Mulch your grass clippings and leave on the lawn
  3. Sweep dirt from your driveways and sidewalks onto the lawn, pick up debris and put in the trash
  4. Pick up your pet waste and put it in the dumpster
  5. Use fertilizers and pesticides sparingly and always follow the suggested application rate, never apply chemicals before a rain
  6. Take leftover paint, used oil, and leftover chemicals to the Tri-County drop off Center  (Household Hazardous Waste Facility opens April 6th.)

Remember, we all live downstream.
