Use a broom rather than a hose to clean up garden clippings, dirt, and litter from sidewalks, patios, and driveways, and use appropriate city bins.

When changing car fluids, use a drip pan to collect any spills. If a spill occurs, soak it up using an absorbent material such as kitty litter or sawdust and dispose of it properly at an approved household hazardous waste collection site.
