Vehicle and Garage Tips

•         Routinely check your car for leaks and keep it properly tuned.  Car pooling or using a bicycle for transportation helps reduce pollutants on our streets.   

•         Never pour any chemicals or hazardous substances from cars down a storm drain, on the ground, on driveways, or on parking lots.   

•         When changing fluids from your car, drain into a clean container and seal completely.  Take the used oil to a gas station or oil changing facility that collects used oil.   

•         If you wash your own car, use a shutoff nozzle on your hose and use detergents and water sparingly.  Wash your car over a landscape surface and let the grass and soil filter the rinse water. Don’t allow rinse water to reach the storm drain.
