Riverfront Clean-Up: Gateway Arch National Park
Meet up and team up at the Riverfront by the Gateway Arch to help clean up and celebrate National Park Week!
Nine billion tons of trash end up in the ocean every year. In fact, the Mighty Mississippi River is one of the largest sources of oceanic plastic debris. But with YOUR help, we can minimize our environmental footprint by collecting riverside trash and keeping the riverfront clean.
Gateway Arch National Park, Gateway Arch Park Foundation, Beyond Plastics, Republic Services, Missouri River Cities and Towns Initiative, Missouri Stream Team, Great Rivers Greenway, Bi-State Development, Living Lands & Waters, St. Louis Aquarium Foundation, and the City of St. Louis have partnered to organize a community trash pick-up event on Saturday, April 5th from 9 am to noon. Recruit your friends and family members and join us in lending a helping hand and cleaning up the riverfront!
All volunteers will receive gloves, trash bags, water, and snacks.
After the clean-up, stay and enjoy Gateway Arch National Park.
