#TrashBashNation showed up big time yesterday for the 2025 Confluence Trash Bash.

What an amazing morning, cleanup crews at 30+ sites making a difference throughout the #STL region. We can't thank our #volunteers enough for their support and effort. Great job.

Nothing more powerful sometimes than a great Before and After photo.

The cleanup crews at our Redman and Benham Road sites knocked it out of the park yesterday during the #Confluence2025 Trash Bash

What an amazing transformation over a period of a few hours.

It was a beautiful day out at The Audubon Center at Riverlands for the Watershed Festival after the 2025 Confluence Trash Bash.

Everyone enjoyed some delicious food, drinks and treats. 4 Hands Brewing Company was on hand with some tasty City Wide beer too.

Thanks to Avery Martinez and @firstalert4.com for highlighting the need for more volunteers for Saturday's Confluence Trash Bash.

St. Louis environment groups ask for more volunteers for huge clean-up on Saturday
In 2024, 5.2 tons of trash were removed from the area by clean-up crews, and Open Space STL says they cleaned more than 30 sites across the region. But they need more this year.

Thanks to all the students from The College School who came out yesterday to help get rid of some nasty invasive plants at Greensfelder Park. Community Stewardship Alliance Ambassador Larry Lazar was impressed.

After much consideration, we’ve decided to transition from X to Bluesky to better connect with those who care deeply about conserving our land and water resources.
