This month: DETOX YOUR HOME
Lookout for Oil
If your driveway looks like the Valdez oil spill, your car is probably leaking oil.
If your driveway looks like the Valdez oil spill, your car is probably leaking oil.
And not just on your driveway, but everywhere you drive your car! When it rains, oil on roads is washed down storm drains, which may lead to a waterway, harming wildlife and downstream users. Take your car in for a tune up if you think it’s leaking, and if you change the oil yourself, be sure to recycle it.

Spring Clean Your Cleaning Supplies
When it’s time for spring cleaning, you probably won’t wear a haz-mat suit, but you’d be surprised at the amount of toxins in our homes. Chemicals found in many household products not only pose health risks to you and your loved ones, but they also enter the environment when you use them. So this spring, make the switch to non-toxic alternatives, and dispose of chemicals safely by making an appointment at the Knott Landfill Hazardous Waste Facility.
