It is not just soil and water. Years ago the OPPCA had several samples of waste water tested and as I am much older now I can not remember just how many chemicals etc was found in these samples as a matter of fact we quickly dropped the testing before someone from the Ministry of environment caught on to it or else you would not be dumping anywhere except a storage system in your shop and than paying to have your waste tanks dumped by a licenced  contractor that could haul hazardous waste to a proper dumping site, so take it very seriously that water in your waste tank is CONTAMINATED waste and we are lucky that we can even run around this country with that crap in our trucks without being licensed to transport contaminated waste.

Actually nothing is allowed to run in storm sewers... you are not allowed to empty your pool into the street. You are not allowed to wash your car and have it run into the street... it's illegal to spray off your driveway and let it run into the street.

but none if this stuff is enforced.

The next time the guy next door washes he's car or empties his pool...call the city and have him fined

The hacks are the ones that are doing the illegal dumping , I'm definitely not afraid of being called a hack .... Then again , Those that defend illegal dumping..... what can we say. These are individual decisions that we each have to live with. I was having trouble living with my methods 15 years ago and changed. That was my choice. Each one of you have to also make a choice and the choice is yours not mine. The consequences are yours... and ..... ever-ones.

dumping anything except rain water is illegal. Yes I agree disposal of waste should be handled properly. It's damn near impossible to get rid of easy, thats my point.

on my journey through the city each day, I see countless cleaners dumping waste water in the street. Why??? because it's not easy to get rid of.

Lot of us on here are just "keeping up appearances" but conduct ourselves and our business totally different.

I've seen black water been pumped out into the street on flood damage calls.....1000's of gallons

Both of my offices are located two blocks from a car wash.
Trucks need a cleaning too.
I have a neat story about this but I'm too tired to type.

Didnt you know thats all I dump is rainwater.  My customers will tell you their carpets hardly need any cleaning at all.  My customers carpets are sooo clean (according to them) that they really dont need cleaning at all (after five years, four kids, two dogs and a cat). And they dont have any pet urine either.  ahahahhahah....Their pet is well trained and has never wee weed on the carpet.....it must have been the neighbors dog fee fee that pissed 87 times in the same spot on her one visit last year.  Ohhh Yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOLAnd of course the 87 times piss in the same spot is described on the phone as a minor simple one time piddle thing that should be easy to take out.  They cleaned it with Resolve and bleach the past five years and theres just a little stain left in the carpet.....HAHHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Can we guess where Im headed.....????LOL
I can remove more spots than you can.
