MCM 1: What Can You Do?

What can you do to protect your watershed and prevent stormwater pollution?

Things to do at home to help prevent stormwater pollution:

  • Wash your car on your lawn, gravel, or go to a carwash that recycles wash water.
  • Inspect your car on a regular basis for any leaks.
  • Clean up your pet’s waste. The Facilities Department has installed over 30 pet waste stations across campus.
  • Properly dispose of batteries and old electronics.
  • Properly dispose of cigarette butts.
