Fairmont, you are saving the world right at your curb, and we are HERE for it!

🥁🥁🥁💥🎉🥳

2023 Adopt-a-Drain totals… Our community has adopted 33 storm drains and collected 122lbs of debris. WOW!!!! That’s 122lbs of sediment, trash, leaves and other materials that would have otherwise made it into our lakes (which is also our drinking water source)! Way to go FAIRMONT!!!!

Adopting a drain is simple and FREE!! Just extend your yard love to the curb; keeping leaves, trash, and debris away from our drains.

We're on a mission to make our city sparkle and protect our lakes from pollution! Small acts, BIG impact! Join this eco-awesome movement - it only takes 3 minutes!

☑️ Click the link and sign up for an account

☑️ Pick a storm drain near your crib or work (seriously, they're everywhere - like tiny, unsung heroes waiting for a sidekick)
☑️ Give it a name (Drainy McDrainFace, anyone?)
☑️ Pledge to keep it clean, and voila! 👏
🕳 💦You're officially a Drain Defender! 💦 🕳

Whether you're an individual, part of a squad, or rocking the business game, JOIN the PARTY!!!!! Let's show other cities how Fairmont brings the green and keeps it clean.

Ready to get involved? Tag a friend, spread the word! We’ve attached a short video from another Adopt-a-Drain community if you’d like to get acquainted with the program. Link to Video: https://pbs.org/video/…

Special thanks to Fairmont Lakes Foundation for partnering with the City of Fairmont, Minnesota to make changes for the good.
