Gateway Arch National Park, Gateway Arch Park Foundation, Republic Services, Missouri Stream Team, Great Rivers Greenway, Living Lands & Waters, and the City of St. Louis have partnered to organize a community trash pick-up event on Saturday, April 25 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., weather permitting. Recruit your friends and family members and join us in lending a helping hand and cleaning up the riverfront!

In the Mississippi River Plastic Pollution Initiative 2021 Science Report, approximately 28,540 litter items were logged in St. Louis with 74% of that being plastic. This has a huge impact on our waterways, community, and region so let’s team up at the Gateway Arch National Park Riverfront to clean-up our Might Mississippi River!

Note: There is no required uniform. Please dress for the appropriate weather and wear close-toe shoes.

Parking instructions will be provided in the email reminder 1 day before the event. In the case of inclement weather, we will notify of an alternative date by the morning of Friday, April 24th.
