Storm Recovery Notes, Help, Opportunities

Dear Neighbors,

I hope this message finds you safe and well. I want to express my heartfelt concern for all residents, businesses, and institutions affected by the devastating tornado on May 16. I would also like to thank those who have helped with the recovery in whatever way possible.

To assist those impacted, the City of St. Louis has compiled a comprehensive resource website. For detailed information and updates, please visit the City’s official recovery page STL Recovers which is updated daily. Below is a very brief summary of what you will find on the website. Please let me know if you have any questions or further needs beyond what is provided below.

Take care and take time to be thankful for what we still have this holiday weekend.

Ron

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.

City Trees and Poles

The City is focusing on removing city trees that have fallen on private property, including homes and vehicles. Traffic light poles are being picked up, and we are starting to restore signals (as power is restored).
