With city budget shortfalls threatening to limit services including trash pickup, Alderman French and the St. Louis Dream Center are joining forces to clean up the 21st Ward.
This Saturday 300 volunteers are leaving from the Dream Center and covering the entire ward, cleaning out vacant lots and picking up trash and debris along the streets and alleys.

Alderman French is strongly opposed to the proposed cut-back in trash pickup. He says, “In an area that experiences a high level of illegal dumping, cutting back on trash service would be devastating. Even now, the city’s bi-weekly trash pickup is not enough to keep our alleys clean.”
