Debris Removal

St. Louis was recently awarded millions in support from the federal government to help clear debris from private property. City officials want residents to start preparing now for the upcoming debris removal and demolition.

The city says the money from interest collected on the Rams settlement will fund stepped-up debris removal over the next four to eight weeks and focus on different neighborhoods each week.

It’s been nearly four months since an EF3 tornado ripped through parts of St. Louis. Community members stepped in where the city didn’t to help clean up the rubble, and some volunteers are still getting calls to remove that lingering debris in north St. Louis.
