auto care & repair

Automobile repair and maintenance activities have the potential to harm water quality of our creeks. You can protect our creeks by adopting watershed-friendly auto care techniques, and by preventing spills and properly disposing of automotive waste fluids:

  • Never dump auto fluids down storm drains or other areas

  • Used oil from a single oil change can pollute up to one million gallons of freshwater.

  • Recycle used oil and antifreeze by taking them to service stations or recycling centers.

  • Dispose of unused or spent cleaning solvents at the Town of Paradise Household Hazardous Waste Facility or the Butte County Household Hazardous Waste Facility.

  • Use a funnel when pouring liquids (motor oil and anti-freeze and place a tray underneath your vehicle to catch spills.
