Information on how to clean up, remove, and organize debris regarding the May 16, 2025 tornado response and recovery efforts
Cleaning and Organizing Debris
Teams are working across St. Louis to clear debris. To reduce congestion, there will not be widespread dumpster drops. Instead, the city is asking residents and volunteers to do the following:
- Place debris in large piles on the curb or public right of way, but not in the street.
- When possible, separate piles into bricks, house debris, and green waste.
- Small piles of yard waste can go in yard waste dumpsters.
- Green waste drop-off locations will be announced soon.
