Confluence Trash Bash is the annual clean-up in North St Louis and North St Louis County. It's organized by Greenway Network, MSD (the St. Louis Metropolitan Sewer District), Missouri American Water, Great Rivers Greenway, Missouri Department of Conservation, St. Louis Audubon, and local partnering organizations.
Volunteering is a great way for scouts to earn badges and students to earn community service hours. Please dress appropriately for working outside and current weather conditions. Be prepared to get wet and muddy.
REGISTER NOW!
Volunteers can choose from four locations as their starting site, after which they will be assigned to specific areas to clean. Meeting time is 8-8:30am. Sign in ahead of time by going to www.greenwaynetwork.org/projects-issues/confluence-trash-bash.php and click one of the register links.
