Doing Car Wash fundraisers to help raise funds for kid's organizations, makes a lot of sense, as the kids are making their own money and they can generate significant dollars to offset the costs of the club, team or youth group.
It is possible to do a car wash fundraiser where no run-off goes into any body of water or storm drain. And I therefore you should look into ways to get this done. Otherwise you will be polluting the environment and breaking the law. You should be cognizant of this and only do a car wash fundraiser if you can do it legitimately.
Now remember the authorities know these groups are run by moms and dads and usually novices to the law so we need to cut them some slack, but really you should do the right thing. If groups will block off the storm drains and are trying to contain and remove water, then it should be allowed. You may also think about putting your car wash fundraiser away from the local carwash as to not upset them and even hand out their flayers to those who come through your car wash fundraiser and they realize that it is much better to work with groups for the benefit of all including the other 51 weeks during the year when they bring their car to their car wash. Car washes collect and treat their wash water. So be thinking on this in 2006.
