Riverfront

A Cleaner Riverfront Starts With You

In the Mississippi River Plastic Pollution Initiative 2021 Science Report, approximately 28,540 litter items were logged in St. Louis with 74% being plastic. This hugely impacts our waterways, community, and region, so let’s team up at the Gateway Arch National Park Riverfront to clean up our Mighty Mississippi River.

Recruit your friends and family members and join us in lending a helping hand and cleaning up the riverfront.
