You may think that it’s ok for little things here and there to be put down the storm drain. It’s easy to forget that your one little thing and my one little thing eventually add up to create a monster problem. Our storm drains don’t filter what we put into them. They run directly into our lakes and streams. To help keep them clean, properly dispose of your motor oil, pick up after your pet, take your car to a car wash and follow the directions when you spray and fertilize your yard.
