Re-posted with permission from the Wildlife Rescue I work with.

I bet every one of us knows of uncapped PVC and hollow metal vent pipes that need to be sealed or made safe. Do you care enough to help fix them?

Sandy,

Thanks so much for posting this. The grilled cap on one of our drains came off during the run-off from the spring thaw. We'll make sure it's put back on today!
