Adopt a storm drain in your neighborhood
Volunteer fifteen minutes, twice a month, for cleaner waterways and healthier communities. Storm drains flow directly to local lakes, rivers, and wetlands, acting as a conduit for trash and organic pollutants. Adopt-a-Drain asks residents to adopt a storm drain in their neighborhood and keep it clear of leaves, trash, and other debris to reduce water pollution.
City-Wide Spring Cleanup
Celebrate Earth Day at the 37th annual Saint Paul Citywide Spring Cleanup! Join forces with your neighbors to clean up the litter in our parks and neighborhood streets that has recently been exposed due to melting snow.
The Citywide Spring Cleanup is hosted by Saint Paul Parks & Recreation, Saint Paul Public Works and local organizations. This is a rain or shine event.
