15th annual River des Peres Trash Bash

Join Great Rivers Greenway District, the River des Peres Watershed Coalition, Missouri Stream Team, Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District, and City of St. Louis in their fight to clean up the rivers and creeks within the River des Peres watershed. The 15th annual River des Peres Trash Bash is taking place on Saturday, Oct. 21, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Registration will take place from 8:00 to 8:45 a.m. at three locations – Willmore Park, located at 7200 Hampton Avenue in St. Louis City; the Heman Park Community Center, located at 975 Pennsylvania in University City; and the University of Missouri-St. Louis Urban Ecology Trailer, located at the South Campus on East Drive. The clean-up will last from 9 a.m. to noon with a celebration and appreciation pizza lunch at Willmore Park from noon to 2 p.m. Volunteers will also be rewarded with musical entertainment and prizes for the “best” trash finds in three categories—most expensive, largest and “weirdest” trash.
