Join the volunteers who are painting yellow fish symbols beside sewers with local municipal approval. They also distribute fish-shaped brochures to remind people to dispose of household hazardous wastes in an environmentally-sound way. Each year, Canadians dump 300 million litres of used motor oil into the environment, with "down the storm drain" being one possible route of contamination. Most water that runs down the storm drains will flow directly into nearby creeks, rivers and lakes. The water goes down the storm drains ends up being the next town's drinking water. People may not realize that by using storm drains as "handy" places to dump unwanted household hazardous products, they are polluting the water. Responsibly disposing of household chemicals and automotive and lawn care products protects both our environment and our health. To date, the program has been approved by over 130 municipalities in Ontario. Since 1993, over a quarter of a million households in Ontario have been reached by the program.
