To prevent PCBs from entering Spokane's water, it is important to ensure oils or runoff from washing cars, or other chemicals, are not carried into the storm drain by rain water. Wash cars at car wash facilities that send runoff to water treatment plants. Clean up oil spills or leaks with absorbent materials (like kitty litter) and dispose of it properly. If a car is leaking oil, arrange to have the leak repaired.
For information on where to properly dispose of household items please see the Spokane/Kootenai Waste Directory.
Search for vendors nearby that will manage specific waste types and learn more about all types of waste.
