Storm Drayne wants you to know:
- Rain does not simply wash litter “away.”
- Rain washes litter downstream into a river, storm drain or even straight into San Diego Bay.
- But that isn't the only thing that gets washed into the bay.
- Extra fertilizers on the lawn, leaked oil in the driveway, and chemical cleaners used on cars – the rain carries it all to the bay.
- The only way to keep these harmful substances away from the sea turtles, seahorses and other marine life, is to keep them from being washed away by the rain to begin with!
Prep before it rains to make sure storm drains stay clear:
- Make sure trash cans are covered with secure lids.
- Clear excess debris from lawns such as leaves and extra grass that can clog drains.
- Soak-up driveway oil leaks with kitty litter, then sweep into a bag and dispose of properly. Click here for County of San Diego Household Hazardous Waste Information Contact List
- Use environmentally friendly pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers to reduce the pollutants getting washed away.
