  • Dispose of dirty carpet cleaning solution down a sink or indoor drain.
  • Clean latex paint supplies in an indoor sink, not in the street.
  • Pick up after your pet, bag it, and dispose in the garbage.
  • Sweep driveway and sidewalks instead of hosing debris into street or storm drain. Dispose of debris in trash.
  • Use less toxic ways to control weeds. Hand pull or dig weeds instead of using herbicides.
  • Empty pool or spa water onto landscaped area when chlorine residual is zero.
  • Use a drain pan to catch automotive fluid when changing oil, antifreeze or other fluids.
