Adopt A Storm Drain

Leaves, grass clippings and other residential waste contribute excess nutrients that can harm water quality in local lakes, wetlands and streams. Please help keep storm drains clean, and consider adopting a drain in your neighborhood.

1. Sign up at mn.adopt-a-drain.org
2. Keep the drain clear. Remove all trash, leaves, grass, road salt, and other waste from blocking the drain. It takes just 15 minutes two times a month. That’s it!
3. Track your progress. Report how much estimated debris you collect and enter it into your Adopt A Drain online account. This helps to track the program’s impact.
4. Get others to join you. Are neighbors asking what you’re doing? Let them know and encourage them to sign up. Let your friends and family know too.
