Waste oil spills are considered an illicit discharge by our Stormwater and Code Enforcement departments and should be addressed immediately. To dry up the spill, cover it with cat litter for a day or two. Once the litter has absorbed the oil, scoop the litter into a bucket and empty it into your dumpster. Contact Jessica Bianchi at 770.497.1790 to inform the department and share photos of the spill. In extreme circumstances and with guidance from the City, pressure washing may be required.
