Our annual pumpkin composting has begun!

Did you know more than 1 billion pounds of pumpkins are wasted in the U.S. each year? We’re here to help keep yours out of the landfill with FREE compost drop-off at two STL locations from Nov 1–Dec 6:

📍South City: 4125 Humphrey St (back parking lot)
📍North City: North Newstead Association (4601 Pope Ave)

Simply swing by and drop off in our yellow compost bins, available 24 hours a day, and our sponsor Total Organics Recycling will transform them into nutrients for future healthy plants. 

***Please make sure your pumpkins are free of any wax or other inorganic decor.***

We’re excited to see our bins fill up!

As you may already know, recent cuts and delays to SNAP benefits have left many families struggling to afford groceries — including more than 324,000 households right here in Missouri.

In moments like these, our communities have the power to step up and support one another.

More families than ever are turning to local food pantries to help fill the gap. If you’re able, consider supporting these vital resources — even a small donation makes a big difference. Monetary gifts go further than food donations, since pantries can stretch every dollar to buy exactly what’s needed, often at lower bulk prices.

You can find a list of food pantries and donation opportunities near you below.

Every act of generosity today helps a family put food on the table tomorrow. 

Event season ended with a bang! ♻️ 

Our Recycling On the Go team was out in full force this October, keeping waste out of landfills and helping thousands of eventgoers learn how to compost and recycle along the way. Huge shoutout to every ROG team member for powering through 15 event days in one month and making such an incredible impact!

It’s always reassuring to see recycling and composting options at events, and we were proud to make this possible for Best of Missouri Market, FestAbility, Chuseok Korean Harvest Fest, GroveFest, Wolf Fest, Diamond Diva, Leaves & Local, Community Conservation Days, and Forest Park Forever’s Membership Event. 

Next, we’re switching gears to start planning for the 2026 St. Louis Earth Day Festival…thank you all for an amazing event season!
