If you have a storm drain or catch basin near your house, apartment, or condo, please help out by periodically cleaning leaves, branches, trash, and other debris from the gutter and the pavement around the drain. You could suggest to your apartment or condo manager that the building should “adopt” and be responsible for the drains near your building.
Whether or not you have a storm drain or catch basin near your home, please do your part to keep our streets and alleys clear of debris. Don’t rake or blow leaves, garden clippings, or soil into the street. Clean up after yourself when gardening, try to use biodegradable bags for yard waste, and help out the crews who remove our waste by keeping the bottom of your bags dry until garbage day.
THANK YOU
to all those who pick up litter along streets and sidewalks on their daily walks around the neighborhood! We see you, and we thank you! It’s a small task that reaps big benefits for us all, and for the ecosystems along Stony Run, Jones Falls, the Patapsco River, and Chesapeake Bay.
Also thank you for help clean the storm drains. It will help flooding in our neighborhood.
