Landscape Maintenance <br />■ Compost grass clippings, leaves, sticks <br />and other vegetation, or dispose of it at <br />a permitted landfill or in green waste <br />containers. Do not dispose of these <br />materials in the street, gutter or storm <br />drain. <br />■ Irrigate slowly and inspect the system <br />for leaks, overspraying and runoff. <br />Adjust automatic timers to avoid <br />overwatering. <br />■ Follow label directions for the use and <br />disposal of fertilizers and pesticides. <br />■ Do not apply pesticides or fertilizers if <br />rain is expected within 48 hours or if <br />wind speeds are above 5 mph. <br />■ Do not spray pesticides within 100 feet <br />of waterways. <br />■ Fertilizers should be worked into the <br />soil rather than dumped onto the <br />surface. <br />■ If fertilizer is spilled on the pavement <br />or sidewalk, sweep it up immediately <br />and place it back in the container. <br />Building Maintenance <br />■ Never allow washwater, sweepings or <br />sediment to enter the storm drain. <br />■ Sweep up dry spills and use cat litter, <br />towels or similar materials to absorb wet <br />spills. Dispose of it in the trash. <br />■ If you wash your building, sidewalk or <br />parking lot, you must contain the water. <br />Use a shop vac to collect the water and <br />contact your city or sanitation agency <br />for proper disposal information. Do <br />not let water enter the street, gutter or <br />storm drain. <br />■ Use drop cloths underneath outdoor <br />painting, scraping, and sandblasting <br />work, and properly dispose of materials <br />in the trash. <br />■ Use a ground cloth or oversized tub for <br />mixing paint and cleaning tools. <br />■ Use a damp mop or broom to clean <br />floors. <br />■ Cover dumpsters to keep insects, <br />animals, rainwater and sand from <br />entering. Keep the area around the <br />dumpster clear of trash and debris. Do <br />not overfill the dumpster. <br />■ Call your trash hauler to replace leaking <br />dumpsters. <br />■ <br />Do not dump any toxic substance or <br />liquid waste on the pavement, the <br />ground, or near a <br />storm drain. Even <br />materials that <br />seem harmless <br />such as latex paint <br />or biodegradable <br />cleaners can <br />damage the <br />environment. <br />■ Recycle paints, solvents and other <br />materials. For more information about <br />recycling and collection centers, visit <br />www.oclandfills.com. <br />■ Store materials indoors or under cover <br />and away from storm drains. <br />■ Use a construction and demolition <br />recycling company to recycle lumber, <br />paper, cardboard, metals, masonry, <br />carpet, plastic, pipes, drywall, rocks, <br />dirt, and green waste.
