The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has some great info about salts on their website: https://www.pca.state.mn.us/water/chloride-salts. There's a tab for how to "Reduce salt use at home" too. Some of the Mayo Clinic Facilities teams are actively working to reduce salt usage in the winter while still keeping safety in mind.
You're not alone with being a street sweeper. I have a storm drain in front of my house and remove debris on a regular basis, especially after big rain storms and in the fall. 🙂
