Litter
Debris washed into our water
bodies can choke, suffocate, or disable aquatic life such as ducks,
fish, turtles and birds. Some of the most common litter includes
plastic bags, six-pack rings, bottles, gum, and cigarette butts.
Litter-Free Tips:
-
Properly dispose of paper,
plastics and other waste by recycling them or throwing them
away.
-
Make sure these items don't
accidentally blow off your property or from your car.
-
Sweep up litter and debris
from sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots, especially around
storm drains.
