Please be diligent to always secure trash and make sure litter is collected and put in proper trash cans and receptacles. City storm drains along roadways are not trash cans as anything that goes down the drain, drains into our creeks and waterways. This is one of many reasons why it is important to secure trash can lids so that trash and debris doesn't blow into the environment. Looking for some more tips? Check out the City's newest video, Pfind a Trash Can. 

Signs of heat exhaustion in dogs include heavy panting or lying down in the middle of a walk. Don’t forget to bring water on all walks for you and your pets.
