COASTAL WEBCARE

Cleaning paintbrushes

If you clean paintbrushes in a gutter, the chemicals eventually flow into our rivers and oceans. This pollution puts people's and animals' health at risk.

Hosing driveway

Leaves and other garden clippings hosed into the gutters can block gutters during heavy rains and cause local flooding. Leaves end up in waterways, polluting creeks and rivers. It also wastes water. Sweeping up leaves and garden clippings is a safe way of cleaning up garden waste.

Washing car

Washing a car on the driveway or street, the soapy water, mud, oil and grease from your car is washed into the drains and ends up in our creeks and beaches. This pollutes our waterways and can be harmful to marine life and our health. And it wastes water.
