Remember – Only Rain in the Storm Drain! Rain that falls onto streets, sidewalks, and parking lots becomes stormwater runoff. Trash and other types of pollutants can flow into the nearest storm drain, then to Lake Mead – our main source of drinking water. Help protect our water quality: StormwaterVegas.com.

Check Your Car for Leaks
Keep your car maintained to avoid leaks of harmful fluids into our storm drains. Use a drip pan when changing your oil; clean up spills with absorbent materials like kitty litter and throw it away in a trash can.

Pick Up After Pets. Pet waste left on lawns or sidewalks contains bacteria that mixes with stormwater that is carried to Lake Mead.

Volunteer for a Community Cleanup. Visit Get Outdoors Nevada at www.getoutdoorsnevada.org/events/ for a calendar of upcoming activities.

Donate & Recycle. Donate salvageable items to a non-profit organization. Reuse cardboard boxes, plastic bags and paper sacks. Use cloth napkins instead of paper and washable containers instead of plastic wrap.

Dispose of Household Waste Properly. Dispose of oil, paint and other types of household hazardous waste at a Republic Services drop-off site: https://www.republicservices.com/municipality/southern-nevada. Buy batteries, anti-freeze and motor oil from stores that recycle these items.

Put a Lid On It. Make sure your trash bins have securely-attached lids. One gust of wind can make a big mess.

Report Plugged Inlets. Report plugged inlets and storm drains on streets in unincorporated County areas to our Public Works Department at (702) 455-6000 or online through FixIt Clark County:  https://tinyurl.com/4s4p9pu6.

Don’t Be a Litter Bug! Picking up one piece of litter a day means 365 fewer pieces of trash on our streets, in our parks and schools thanks to you. Plant flowers and desert-friendly vegetation in your yard. People litter less in beautified neighborhoods.
