You are responsible to implement measures to detect, correct and enforce against illegal dumping of pollutants on streets, into water and the storm drain system.
WHY IS PROPER DISPOSAL SO IMPORTANT?
Properly dispose of wastes, and recycle when possible, to eliminate illegal discharges. Reduce, reuse and recycle hazardous and non-hazardous wastes when possible, to lower your disposal costs and the amount of waste entering our landfills. Participate in waste exchange opportunities to decrease the waste you generate and to save money and resources.
WHAT CAN I DO? PREVENT POLLUTED RUNOFF BY:
 
  • Implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) as listed below
  • Training employees on BMPs, good housekeeping practices & spill response
