"Dry Methods for Cleaning"
Washing paved areas can cause debris, vehicle
fluids, and other pollutants to be carried into
drainage systems with wash water. Sweep and use
other dry methods to clean pavement instead of
hosing it down. Be sure to pick up and dispose
of the accumulated materials properly.
Mechanized street sweepers are effective at
removing sediment and debris from roads and
other paved areas.
If you must wash a paved area, remove as much
residue and debris as possible before applying
water. Screen storm drain inlets with filter
fabric to catch soil and other particles.
It is illegal to dump unused products onto
the pavement or down a storm drain!
