LCSC Car Wash Fundraiser Program

Car wash fundraisers are an important means for an organization to raise money, but if the wash water from the car wash isn’t handled properly, it can be harmful to the environment.  Car wash fundraisers are usually held in the parking lots of local businesses where the water from the car wash enters the storm drain. The water that enters a storm drain doesn’t go to a wastewater treatment facility where it is cleaned. Instead the water empties directly into local creeks, rivers and streams. All of the pollutants that are in the wash water (soaps, oils, metals, etc.) go down the storm drain and are deposited in local waterways.

LCSC has partnered with local commercial car wash operators to assist groups with meeting their fundraising goals without holding the traditional (time consuming and labor intensive) car wash. Commercial car washing facilities direct their wash water to the sanitary sewer where the wash water is treated. Most commercial car wash facilities use special equipment to conserve and recycle the wash water at their facility. Using a commercial facility is the best choice when washing a car. By meeting your fundraising goals through a partnership with a commercial car wash facility, your organization can ensure that your next fundraiser will not be harmful to the environment.

Community groups can purchase discounted car wash coupons from participating facilities that they can then re-sell!  It’s quick, easy and safe for the environment.
