SOLUTIONS TO STORMWATER POLLUTION 
Easy Things You Can Do Every Day to Protect Our Water 
 
A Guide to Healthy Habits for Cleaner Water  
Pollution on streets, parking lots and lawns is washed by 
rain into storm drains, then directly to our drinking water 
supplies and the ocean and lakes our children play in. 
Fertilizer, oil, pesticides, detergents, pet waste, grass 
clippings: You name it, and it ends up in our water.  
 
Stormwater pollution is one of New Jersey’s greatest 
threats to clean and plentiful water, and that’s why we’re all 
doing something about it.  
 
By sharing the responsibility and making small, easy 
changes in our daily lives, we can keep common pollutants 
out of stormwater. It all adds up to cleaner water, and it 
saves the high cost of cleaning up once it’s dirty.  
 
As part of New Jersey’s initiative to keep our water clean 
and plentiful and to meet federal requirements, many 
municipalities and other public agencies including colleges 
and military bases must adopt ordinances or other rules 
prohibiting various activities that contribute to stormwater 
pollution. Breaking these rules can result in fines or other 
penalties.  
 
As a resident, business, or other member of the New 
Jersey community, it is important to know these easy 
things you can do every day to protect our water.  
 
Limit your use of fertilizers and pesticides.  
• Do a soil, test to see if you need fertilizer.  
• Do not apply fertilizers if heavy rain is predicted.  
• Investigate alternatives for pesticides.  
• Maintain a small lawn and keep the rest of your property 
or yard in a natural state with trees and other native 
vegetation that requires little or no fertilizer.  
• If you use fertilizers and pesticides, follow the instructions 
on the label on how to correctly apply it. Make sure you 
properly store or discard any unused portions.  
 
Properly use and dispose of hazardous products.  
• Hazardous products include some household or 
commercial cleaning products, lawn and garden care 
products, motor oil, antifreeze, and paints.  
• Do not pour any hazardous products down a storm drain 
because storm drains are usually connected to local 
waterbodies and the water is not treated.  
• If you have hazardous products in your home or 
workplace, make sure you store or dispose of them 
properly. Read the label for guidance.  
• Use natural or less toxic alternatives when possible.  
• Recycle used motor oil.  
• Contact your municipality, county or facility management 
office for the locations of hazardous-waste disposal 
facilities. 
Keep pollution out of storm drains! 
• Municipalities and many other public agencies are 
required to mark certain storm drain inlets with messages 
reminding people that storm drains are connected to local 
waterbodies.  
• Do not let sewage or other wastes flow into a stormwater 
system.  
 
Clean up after your pet! 
• Many municipalities and public agencies must enact and 
enforce local pet-waste rules.  
• An example is requiring pet owners or their keepers to 
pick up and properly dispose of pet waste dropped on 
public or other people ‘s property.  
• Make sure you know your towns or agency’s 
requirements and comply with them. It’s the law. And 
remember to:  
• Use newspaper, bags or pooper-scoopers to pick 
up waste.  
• Dispose of the wrapped pet waste in the trash or 
unwrapped in a toilet.  
• Never discard pet waste in a storm drain.  
 
Don’t feed wildlife!  
• Do not feed wildlife, such as ducks and geese, in public 
areas.  
• Many municipalities and other public agencies must enact 
and enforce a rule that prohibits wildlife feeding in these 
areas.  
 
Don’t litter!  
• Place litter in trash receptacles.  
• Recycle. Recycle. Recycle.  
• Participate in community cleanups.  
 
Dispose of yard waste properly  
• Keep leaves and grass out of storm drains.  
• If your municipality or agency has yard waste collection 
rules, follow them.  
• Use leaves and grass clippings as a resource for compost. 
• Use a mulching mower that recycles grass clippings into 
the lawn.
