The Impact of Trash on our Waterways
Trash in our harbor often begins as litter on our streets and sidewalks. Rain water can carry street litter to nearby storm drains, or catch basins, where it enters the City’s Sewer System. This litter can eventually make its way to our waterways, which can hurt local wildlife and put human health at risk.
Trash Impacts Local Wildlife Trash Impacts Human Health To improve water quality and protect wildlife and local communities that rely on our waterways, we implement a variety of programs and work with other agencies to help keep trash and debris out of the Sewer System and local waters.
