Correct! Anything that goes into a storm drain will eventually make its way to the creek. Some litter and sediment may be filtered out in a detention pond or water quality pond, but this does not treat the water the same way a wastewater treatment plant would. 

Nice try! Actually, anything that goes into a storm drain will eventually make its way to the creek. Some litter and sediment may be filtered out in a detention pond or water quality pond, but this does not treat the water the same way a wastewater treatment plant would.

Don't know? Don't worry! Check this out: Anything that goes into a storm drain will eventually make its way to the creek. Some litter and sediment may be filtered out in a detention pond or water quality pond, but this does not treat the water the same way a wastewater treatment plant would. 

Oh, and there's no such thing as a stormwater treatment plant. 

Correct! Many common household products contain chemicals that could easily ignite or explode. These toxic chemicals should be disposed of at a hazardous waste facility, especially if stored in large quantities and aren't used for years. The containers can break down and leak over time. The Round Rock Recycling Center hosts monthly hazardous household waste collection events so residents can dispose of these chemicals for free. Visit roundrocktexas.gov/HHW to learn more.

Fertilizing any more than twice per year can cause excess fertilizer to runoff during a rain event and pollute the creeks and waterways. Typically, fertilizing once during Spring, and once during Fall is plenty. For best results, test your soil using a kit and follow the instructions of the fertilizer you choose.

Correct! In fact, all of these are acceptable ways to dispose of yard waste except blowing or sweeping it into the street. The clippings can clog the inlets (the holes in the curb that rainwater runs into) and stormwater lines, causing rainwater to back up and flood streets. If they make it to the the creek, they can decompose and negatively impact the water quality, harming plant and animal life in the area.

If left in a yard or public park, pet waste introduces bacteria into stormwater runoff and increases the bacteria levels in creeks. Pet waste should always be disposed of in the trash. 

Good Job! If left in a yard or public park, pet waste introduces bacteria into stormwater runoff and increases the bacteria levels in creeks. Pet waste should always be disposed of in the trash. 

Uh-Oh. If left in a yard or public park, pet waste introduces bacteria into stormwater runoff and increases the bacteria levels in creeks. Pet waste should always be disposed of in the trash. 

Great! The best way to prevent pullution runoff is to wash your car at a car wash. They have equipment to capture the runoff before it hits a creek. It's also acceptable to wash your car over a grassy area, or on a paved surface that doesn't drain to the street.

Taking your vehicle to a shop, or taking used oil to a facility that accepts it and disposes of it properly are both acceptable means of disposing used oil. Storing used oil for long periods of time risks a leak in the future if the container degrades over the years.

Basically, anything that isn't simply water is considered a stormwater pollutant. Even dirt and sediment can pollute waterways if there's too much. When it rains, anything left on the pavement will be washed into the storm drain so it's important to be mindful of what is left on the ground. It will always make its way back to a creek, river, lake, or ocean.
