DPW "Think Blue" reminder on
proper handling of cleaning products

"Please keep Cleaners Out of the Stream

What goes down the drain doesn’t just disappear, it heads straight for your nearby streams or rivers in Franklin, untreated.

Paint thinner, cleaners, oils, and other household chemicals can pollute waterways when dumped or rinsed into storm drains.

A few smart steps can go a long way:

• Store products sealed and out of the rain

• Never dump chemicals outside

• Know what’s safe for septic systems

No treatment means no second chances. Protect your pipes, your property, and your watershed."

Spill Smarts Start Here

From leaky drums to mystery puddles, even small spills can pollute local waterways when rain carries them into storm drains.

Avoid the oops:

• Label materials clearly and keep SDS sheets handy

• Use secondary containment and spill kits

• Train your team to respond fast and smart

Staying spill-ready helps protect your crew, your site, and your local rivers and lakes. Clean water starts with cleaner habits.
