Post: Help protect storm drains when working on your vehicle at home.
Oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, and other vehicle fluids can wash from driveways and streets into storm drains when it rains. In many areas, storm drains flow untreated directly to [local waterbody].
Before you start, set yourself up to prevent spills. Use a drip pan, work under cover during dry weather when possible, and keep absorbent materials nearby in case something leaks or tips over.
Used oil and vehicle fluids should be recycled or disposed of properly. Many auto parts stores accept used motor oil, and residents can also check with [local transfer station / hazardous waste facility] for disposal options.
Small steps in the driveway can help protect local waterways.
