Last but not least for Ohio Stormwater Awareness Week: trash!

Trash can clog and block storm drains and culverts, leading to flooding. Trash can also smother important habitat and put aquatic life at risk as trash can be confused for food. Cleaning up trash is one of the easiest ways to make a difference – don’t litter and pick up trash where you can. Also, participate in one of our cleanups that we have year-round!
