Does your Community Group have car washing fundraisers?
Worried about stormwater pollution?

Then the Spill Safe Mat is for you!

These vehicle washing mats have been purchased by the Marion and Mitcham Environmental Education Project for use by the community. They are portable, pliable, roll out onto any surface and prevent stormwater pollution by capturing dirty wastewater associated with vehicle washing. The wastewater can either be directed to sewer (if volumes of liquid are small) or pumped onto a garden or lawn. A pump is supplied with the unit. Make sure you use low phosphate, biodegradable detergents.

The mats come in two sizes, one is suitable for washing a car (6m x 2.5 m) and the other for a small bus/truck or two cars (7.5m x 3m).

Hire of the mats is free, however a deposit of $50 is required for security.
