There’s oil in the street in front of my house. What should I do about it?

If you can’t determine who is responsible for the pollution, sprinkle it with kitty litter, sweep up the soiled absorbent and place it in a household hazardous waste container for disposal at a household hazardous waste facility near you. For more instructions, contact Stormwater Quality Management.
