Ice fishing season is in full swing in Minnesota! If you're getting out on the ice, remember to keep it clean. Trash and human waste left on the ice isn't just gross, it can contaminate lakes when that ice melts in the spring. No one wants to swim in your garbage - if you bring it on the ice, bring it back off.

We're grateful to the MPCA — and all our community partners — for your collaboration on Keep It Clean! Thanks for all you're doing to help raise awareness about this important topic.

The Keep It Clean campaign, a 2023 Minnesota law, and many partners working together are adding up to less garbage and waste left behind on frozen lakes.
