Washing vehicles and equipment
outside can release pollutants such as oil, grease, metals, dirt, and soap
onto pavement and into the storm system. Even products labeled
"biodegradable" can be toxic to aquatic organisms in local creeks. Wash
vehicles and equipment at a commercial car wash where water is recycled and
sent to the sanitary sewer.
