Hazardous Waste 
Always keep non-hazardous waste separate from hazardous waste, including solvents, batteries, kerosene and antifreeze, which pose a threat to the environment. Do not pour oils or solvents down drains.

 Stormwater Runoff 
Materials, supplies, and equipment stored outdoors and exposed to rain and runoff can result in storm water pollution. 
Reduce runoff from rain and snow melt that washes debris into our waterways with these simple practices: 
 Conduct repair and maintenance under a roof away from water and storm drains. 
 Choose less toxic cleaning products, such as, non-phosphate, biodegradable cleaners. 
 Work over tarps or drop cloths to contain dust and paint chips. 
 Mix all solvents, paints and varnishes over a tarp on land, not over the water. 
 Store debris in leak proof containers. 
 Buffer the shoreline with vegetative filter strips or swales. 
 Employ permeable pavement surfaces. such as, gravel. 
 KEEP STORM DRAINS CLEAN.
 Install catch basins to help manage runoff.
