MnDOT, Minnesota Department of Corrections,
working to beautify Minnesota roadsides
As spring temperatures melt away what's left of the winter snow, Minnesotans are getting a look at what's been hiding under that snow for several months, including trash and debris.
Whether it's a plastic bags, cardboard, food containers, bottles, or remnants of a fender bender, the Minnesota Department of Transportation says spring can certainly bring out the state's ugly side.
"Once that snow melts away and before it greens up, it really become noticeable that there is litter along the highways," said MnDOT spokesperson, Anne Meyer.
MnDOT tries to tackle the trash in a couple of different ways. Maintenances workers will pick up trash, but often times volunteers take time out of their week as part of the state's Adopt a Highway program.
In 2021, volunteers spent 70,000 hours alongside Minnesota highways and picked-up over 29,500 bags of trash.
"We are always looking for more volunteers," Meyer said. "We currently have about 830 sections that are available for adoption."
The Minnesota Department of Corrections' Institution Community Work Crews (ICWC) also plays a key role in removing roadside litter. ICWC puts people incarcerated at minimum-security facilities to work in the community under the supervision of a department crew leader.

The Affordable Connectivity Program provides:
- Up to $30/month discount for broadband service;
- Up to $75/month discount for households on qualifying Tribal lands; and
- A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet purchased through a participating provider if the household contributes more than $10 but less than $50 toward the purchase price.
The Affordable Connectivity Program is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household.
Who is Eligible?
A household is eligible for the Affordable Connectivity Program if the household income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, or if a member of the household meets at least one of the criteria outlined at https://www.fcc.gov/acp.
