Join us on Saturday, April 12th for one of the largest annual cleanup efforts in the area, the Confluence Trash Bash! Confluence Trash Bash is a chance to help clean up the rivers and creeks within the Lower Missouri River watershed. Volunteers can choose from multiple cleanup locations or storm drain marking sites within the watershed. Site leaders will be present at each cleanup location to provide instructions and supplies and to lead volunteers through the cleanup.

The event is free, and all volunteers will be provided with work gloves and trash bags to use for the cleanups.  Participants will receive a free t-shirt while supplies last. Volunteers are also invited to a thank you celebration with free food, drinks, and activities for the whole family at the Audubon Center at Riverlands!

Volunteers must pre-register and complete a liability waiver to receive their free t-shirt, select a cleanup site, and help event organizers coordinate supplies. Volunteers of all ages are encouraged to help with this Trash Bash, but children must have adult supervision.

Partners for the Confluence Trash Bash include Open Space STL, Great Rivers Greenway, MSD Project Clear, the Earthways Center, Saint Louis County Parks and Recreation Department, Missouri Department of Transportation, The Audubon Center at Riverlands, Mississippi River Water Trail Association, Leave No Trace and Missouri Stream Teams.
