Routinely check your car for leaks and keep it properly tuned. Car pooling or using a bicycle for transportation helps reduce pollutants on our streets.
Never pour any chemicals or hazardous substances from cars down a storm drain, on the ground, on driveways, or on parking lots.
When changing fluids from your car, drain into a clean container and seal completely. Take the used oil to a gas station or oil changing facility that collects used oil.
