CARVER COUNTY/MN PROGRAMS
Adopt a Drain this fall and protect lakes and rivers.
A few minutes a month helps protect lakes and rivers when you join Minnesota’s Adopt a Drain program. Adopt a drain is a program that invites residents to adopt a storm drain and commit to keeping it clear of leaves, trash, and other debris. Keeping storm drains clean prevents pollution in our lakes and creeks.
The program began in 2017 in Minnesota, and since that has grown to 7 states. In Minnesota, there are 13,971 volunteers who have adopted 24,190 drains and have prevented or 764,000 lbs. of debris from getting into local lakes and rivers. The impacts have been huge!
Clean storm drains help lakes
Rain washes anything that’s on streets and paved surfaces down storm drains and into lakes and rivers. Many people do not know that “natural” debris—leaves, grass clippings, fertilizer, road salt, and pet waste—becomes pollution when it hits the water. When these natural pollutants break down, they become food for algae, causing it to grow out of control.
Sign up
You can sign up as an individual, a family, a school, an organization, a service group and more.
To sign up visit https://www.adopt-a-drain.org/. Plug in your location to search for adoptable storm drains near you. Select one and fill out the sign-up form. When residents sign up for the program, they’ll receive an e-mail with instructions on how to safely clear storm drains, dispose of the debris, and report the amount of debris they collect.
