General Illicit Discharge and/or Recycling Information
General resources for recycling information and facts, as well as websites tailored specifically to help get kids involved in recycling, are available with the links below. SEMSWA recognizes that recycling is a very viable way to remove some of our typical household hazardous wastes by reducing the amount of waste that may otherwise enter the waste stream via storm drains, sewers and landfills.
Prevent Pollution to Area Waterways: Don't Dump Down Road Drains
Soaps, solvents, oil, trash, sand, yard clippings or other material should not enter road drains or drainage ditches. Pollutants that flow through storm drains go directly into streams and waterways without being treated or purified. This pollution impacts aquatic life, wildlife, and people who recreate and fish. Please do your part to keep our waterways clean: properly dispose of or recycle your household and yard waste, and participate in our community household hazardous waste pick-up programs.
