What am I supposed to do with my dirty mop water; I don’t want to dump it in my clean sink.

If something is too dirty or “gross” for you to want to dump in a sink in your home, it is definitely not acceptable for the storm drain. The water should go into the sink or pour it onto your yard or dirt to soak into the ground. Remember, only rain down the storm drain! Learn more on our Household Hazardous Waste website.
