Stormwater Pollution Prevention: Your Part

Stormwater Pollution Prevention: Your Part

  • Bring leftover toxic material to a waste collection facility:
    • Miami Dade County Solid Waste Department 305-594-1500
  • Compost yard clippings
  • Eliminate or reduce your use of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizer
  • Fix oil, radiator, and transmission leaks on your vehicles
  • If you live along a canal or lake, plant a vegetated buffer of native plants
  • Landscape and install walkways, driveways, and drainage to let water seep into the ground instead of running off your property.
  • Pick up after your pets; bury or dispose of waste in the trash
  • Sweep leaves and soil from sidewalks and driveways back onto the lawn or compost
  • Wash your vehicles in a car wash or on your lawn, not you driveway
  • Never dump anything onto the street, into a gutter, or storm drain
