Keep Clark County Clean

Remember - Only Rain in the Storm Drain!
Rain that falls onto streets, sidewalks,
and parking lots becomes stormwater runoff.
Trash and other types of pollutants can flow
into the nearest storm drain, then to Lake Mead
– our main source of drinking water. Help
protect our water quality: StormwaterVegas.com
Check Your Car For Leaks
Keep your car maintained to avoid leaks of
harmful fluids into our storm drains. Use a drip
pan when changing your oil; clean up spills with
absorbent materials like kitty litter and throw it
away in a trash can.
Pick Up After Pets
Pet waste left on
lawns or sidewalks contains bacteria that mixes
with stormwater that is carried to Lake Mead.
Volunteer For A Community Cleanup
Visit Get Outdoors Nevada at

Donate & Recycle
Donate salvageable
items to a non-profit organization. Reuse
cardboard boxes, plastic bags and paper
sacks. Use cloth napkins instead of paper and
washable containers instead of plastic wrap.
Dispose of Household Waste Properly
Dispose of oil, paint and other
types of household hazardous waste at a
Republic Services drop-off site:
https://www.republicservices.com/municipality/southern-nevada.
Buy batteries, anti-freeze and
motor oil from stores that recycle these items
Contractor Cleanliness
Cover truck
loads whenever you transport landscaping or
construction materials. Place trash containers
on work sites for workers to use
Put a Lid On It
Make sure your trash bins
have securely-attached lids. One gust of wind
can make a big mess.

Don't Be a Litter Bug!
Picking up one
piece of litter a day means 365 fewer pieces of
trash on our streets, in our parks and schools
thanks to you. Plant flowers and desert-friendly
vegetation in your yard. People litter less in
beautified neighborhoods.
