Check your vehicle for oil leaks and

drips on a regular basis. When you

find a leak, fix it promptly.

Collect oil in containers with a tight

fighting lid. Old milk jugs are

perfect!

Never dump motor oil, antifreeze or

other engine fluids down the storm

drain or into the ground.

Wash your car at a car wash that

filters water, this will prevent oil

from you car to enter the ground

water

Use ground cloths under your vehicle

whenever doing engine repair. Clean

up all spills that happen in a timely

manner.

What else can I do to

help prevent oil pollution?

Keep Delaware beautiful

starting in Your Backyard

Always pick up your doggie’s doo!

Doggie doo can wash into our

streams and rivers and introduce

disease-causing bacteria.

Pick up litter from your yard and

storm drains.

Use natural products whenever

possible! Toxic substances like

insect sprays and moth balls should

be used as little as possible

Plant more trees and flowers! It

will make your yard more beautiful,

and make it more difficult for

chemicals to reach waterways.

Recycle as much as possible! Have

an item you don't know where to

recycle? Check out the website

below.
