Pollution doesn’t just come from large corporations; it also comes from small businesses and individuals.
You can help keep our drinking water and waterways clean by implementing some of these actions:
Keep litter, pet waste, and debris off streets and yards
Control soil erosion on your property
Apply garden chemicals sparingly and according to manufacturer instructions
Dispose of automotive and household chemicals properly
Simple steps like these can make a large impact on water quality for the benefit of you and the larger Rogue River Basin community.
For more information about how you can help protect our source water visit www.epa.gov. And for local information on recycling or disposal of automotive and household chemicals, contact local transfer stations and recycling centers such as Rogue Disposal & Recycling, Recology, Southern Oregon Sanitation, or Republic Services.
