Litter can diminish the beauty of a neighborhood and clog up storm drains. By periodically clearing storm drains of debris, leaves, litter and grass clippings, it allows stormwater to flow freely and prevent overflows and flooding.
Volunteer duties

Storm drain marking Except in parts of the Everett combined sewer system, anything that flows into storm drains from our yards, streets, and roofs travels untreated to the nearest stream, lake or wetland and eventually to Puget Sound.
Volunteer duties The city encourages you to spread the message about the importance of only rain down the drain by installing storm drain markers in your neighborhood. The city has free drain marking kits that can be reserved. It is a great volunteer opportunity for individuals, families or school / civic groups.
