Keep catch basins clear of loose

leaves, debris and trash.Clogged

catch basins (storm drains) can

cause increased street floodingduring heavy rain. Please do not

sweep leaves or sidewalk litter into gutters or

catch basins. Organic material, cigarette butts, and

trash washed into catch basins contribute to water

pollution. To report a clogged catch basin, please

call DC Water at 202.612.3400.

Properly dispose of motor oil and other hazardous

materials. Do not dump these items into the catch

basins to prevent polluting our waterways and

harming wildlife. Bring these or other household

hazardous waste items and your unwantedelectronics to the Fort Totten Trash Transfer

Station (address above) every Saturday, except

holidays, from 8 am to 3 pm.
