“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
An actual photo of a St. Louis alley, taken by 20th Ward Alderwoman Cara Spencer. St. Louis' trash service is garbage.Anyone who has peered down any given alley in the city and spied the rolling tides of overflowing refuse therein already knows that, but what you may not have known is the face-palmingly simple reason why: We don't have enough trash trucks to cover our routes.According to a report by the Post-Dispatch, St. Louis has 55 trash routes to run each day, but only has 40 to 45 working trucks in service most days. It doesn't take a rocket mathecist to figure out that ain't gonna work. Some would say that the mountains of garage strewn everywhere are just part of the city's appeal, and that drowning in one's own refuse is St. Louis as hell, and that why would we want to do anything about our city's charming lack-of-trucks-lots-of-trash quirk anyway? Just kidding, no one would ever say any of that. This one is so basic it seems unbelievable that it requires discussion.“When you don’t have enough trucks, you don’t have the ability to cover all those routes,” Streets Director Jamie Wilson tells the Post-Dispatch succinctly. Yep, makes sense.Some of the trucks in the city's curren... (. Louis' Trash Service Is a Damn Dumpster Fire)

RFT A Spanish Lake man was found burned in a dumpster by St. Louis police. Using dental records, St. Louis police have identified a man whose burned body was found Friday morning in a dumpster.Officers were responding to a call for help shortly after 11 a.m. in the north city neighborhood of O'Fallon Park when they discovered the remains of Breyon Jamaul Robinson. The 29-year-old Spanish Lake resident was last heard from earlier that morning. St. Louis County police opened a missing person case for Robinson on Saturday morning. He was already dead, but investigators didn't know that at the time because his body had yet to be identified. On a first inspection of the remains, a medical examiner could not even determine the age or race. He was discovered in the 4200 block of East Kossuth Avenue.City police originally classified the death as suspicious. Now that they have more information, detectives are investigating the case as a homicide.We welcome tips and feedback. Email the author at doyle.murphy...
Stark said.Minneapolis has had similar packaging restrictions for two years. St. Louis Park implemented a ban earlier this year.But four council members spoke against the measure, including Rebecca Noecker, who said it unfairly targets restaurants."We're exempting the big guys," she said. "We're exempting the big box stores that sell our refrigerator packaging and our shampoo packaging. We're exempting manufacturers, we're exempting hospitals and nursing homes."...
ST. LOUIS • When he’s not catching 40-pound catfish on the Mississippi River, Stephen Silver is usually still there on the banks cleaning up other people’s garbage.“When I’m on the river I always come trucking back with more trash than I took out there,” Silver said. “Nature should be natural.”Silver has been cleaning up waterways as a volunteer for decades, but on Saturday he was joined by people of all ages hauling scrap metal, Styrofoam and plastic off the banks near where the Mississippi River meets the River Des Peres. It was part of the 15th annual “Trash Bash,” which deployed hundreds of volunteers Saturday morning to waterways around St. Louis.“A lot of these items could have already been disposed of if people had been more mindful,” said Diane Forthaus, pointing at dozens of empty plastic bottles and Styrofoam cups dotting piles of driftwood. “Our children will inherit all of this.”Statistics for this year’s cleanup weren’t immediately available, but at least 85 tires were found a...
