A lot of the trash we find in the Bay and oceans comes from the land. Our cities, roadways that connect them, and storm drains are responsible for a lot of the trash that gets into our creeks and into the Bay.

You can help prevent trash from polluting our Bay by cleaning up your neighborhood streets and storm drains. Remember to be safe: do this with an adult, do not pick up anything dangerous, wear gloves, and collect in a trash bag or bucket so you can make sure it ends up in the bin.
