While Pride Month is already behind us, it’s important to remember that LGBTQ+ communities deserve support year-round, beyond June – and right here in St. Louis, there’s tons of amazing queer-owned businesses that stress the green in the rainbow and take extra steps to love the Earth. Whether you’re looking for unique crafts and gifts, sustainable fashion, or just quality everyday items, you can shop at any of these local 12 businesses knowing you’re supporting multiple great causes.

If you don't want to commit to a position but are still interested in contributing to our recycling program, consider signing up to be a volunteer! We deeply appreciate our volunteers for taking the time to help our mission and provide benefits whenever possible, such as a free meal at Food Truck Fridays.

Help us divert waste at the two Food Truck Fridays this month hosted by Sauce Magazine! Volunteers will work together at our waste sorting station to make sure compostable items, recyclables, and trash end up in the right bins. They'll also receive a free meal voucher to use at the event! July's dates are the 14th and 28th from 4PM - 8PM both days at Tower Grove Park.
