Volunteer to Mark Storm Drains

Would you like to help keep pollution out of our stormwater and local lakes?

People blow leaves or pour paints, pesticides, antifreeze, used motor, hazardous chemicals, and oil down storm drains on streets and in parking lots, unaware of its negative impact of local water quality.

Stormwater runoff carrying pollutants and illegally dumped wastes can damage water quality and affect fish, wildlife, and recreational opportunities.

Volunteer to mark storm drains with "No Dumping" signs. Get involved with your community, educate residents, and increase awareness about the importance of our local water resources and the environment.

Keep in mind:

  • To request marking kits, the storm drains must be within the City of Orlando limits.
