Answer 2

Nothing.  A storm drain is for, guess what, storm run-off, i.e. rain and snow melt.

Answer 3

Milk is NOT harmless. Storm sewers do not go to the wastewater treatment plant, the dump into the nearest body of water. Any organic matter, such as milk, takes up oxygen from the water and helps to overfertilize it. In addition, the fat in milk can coat aquatic insects and kill them. Pouring milk into the storm sewer is the same as using the sewer as a toilet.

Answer 4

Meds.  They contaminate our drinking water.
