No Dumping - Drains to River or Ocean Signs

Common sizes for our Drains to Ocean stencils are designed to fit a variety of storm drains. We offer small versions that are perfect for marking curbs, as well as larger stencils intended for high-visibility pavement markings. The variety in size ensures you can find the right stencil to effectively communicate your message in any location, such as with our popular "Dump No Waste Drains to Stream" stencil.

For the best results, use a dabbing technique with a brush or apply a light, even coat with an inverted spray can held a few inches from the surface. Ensure the stencil is held firmly against the pavement to prevent paint from bleeding underneath. This will result in a crisp, clear message. For a wide variety of stencil options suitable for different painting techniques, you can browse our main stencils department.

Since many of our popular drain marking stencils are kept in stock, orders can often be processed and shipped within a single business day. For larger bulk orders or custom designs, the lead time may be slightly longer. We pride ourselves on fast turnaround times. If you have a specific deadline, please contact us to confirm the production schedule for your order.

We recommend using a durable, water-based traffic marking spray paint or a specialized pavement paint. These types of paint are formulated to adhere strongly to asphalt and concrete and are designed to withstand vehicle traffic and weather exposure. The Federal Highway Administration (fhwa.dot.gov) sets standards for pavement markings, and using a high-quality paint ensures your message will last. A clear message is just as important as a durable sign, like our "Drains to the Ocean" sign.
