Storm Drain Stenciling!

October 3rd, Seafoam Project Volunteers added "Do Not Dump..." plaques to Simi Valley neighborhoods! We stenciled 20 storm drains that day. In addition to the plaques, we removed debris and trash from the storm drains and recorded information onto data cards. We removed plastic bottles, glass, food wrappers, and more - which would have made its way into waterways and the ocean. 




Remember, storm drains and catch basins are for collecting water only. These draining systems have no filtration or trash collection process in place and drain directly to our waterways and ocean!




Here you can see volunteers adding adhesive to the plaques before placing them near the storm drain! 







We hope you will join Seafoam Project's next storm drain stenciling event!
