👻 Don't let Trash Monsters take over your neighborhood!

Litter left behind after parties and celebrations can be washed into storm drains during the next rain.

Keep Trash Monsters away by:

🗑 Throwing trash away properly
♻ Recycling when possible

For generations, Indigenous communities have cared for the lands and waterways through practices rooted in stewardship.

Let’s continue to care for the places we love.

Whether it's picking up litter, planting native plants, or preventing polluted runoff, every action helps care for Contra Costa's creeks, the Delta, and the Bay.

Before the rainy season begins, check your garage, shed, or yard to make sure your household products are stored safely.

Keep fertilizers, pesticides, paints, and automotive fluids sealed and stored where rain can't wash them away.

When it's time to dispose of these materials, take them to a Household Hazardous Waste facility.

Protecting waterways starts at home.

🌿 This is a picture of nature managing rainwater.

Green infrastructure features, like rain gardens, bioswales, and permeable pavement, help capture stormwater before it’s lost to storm drains.

These projects:
💧 Reduce runoff
🌱 Allow water to soak into the ground
🐟 Help protect our creeks, the Delta, and the Bay

Community investments and everyday actions work together to prepare Contra Costa for the rainy season.

🌱 Did you know? Nature can help manage stormwater!

Green infrastructure uses natural features like rain gardens, plants, and landscaped areas to slow down rainwater and allow it to soak into the ground.

As water filters through soil, it helps remove pollutants before they reach our creeks, the Delta, and the Bay.
