Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers should avoid self-deploying during disasters. Trusted organizations operating in the affected areas know where volunteers are needed.

• Find volunteer opportunities with the United Way of Greater St. Louis
• Apply to volunteer with the American Red Cross 
• Sign up to be notified of disaster-related volunteer opportunities

Debris and Cleanup

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
