Making St. Louis a cleaner, greener, better place to live!
Dedicated to cleaning, greening St. Louis since 1982
At Brightside St. Louis, our mission is to improve the quality of life in our community by educating, engaging and inspiring St. Louisans to make our region cleaner, greener and more environmentally sustainable.
From graffiti removal to our sustainable Demonstration Garden to the daffodils that sprout their blooms all around town, Brightside St. Louis is the city’s oldest and most comprehensive nonprofit cleaning and greening organization. Check out our work to grow an even more beautiful St. Louis!
Brightside is funded through donations from individuals, companies and foundations and by a grant from HUD and the St. Louis Community Development Administration.

The 2026 Neighborhood Leader Packet is Now Available!
Spring is the perfect time to clean-up and beautify our community! Registering a Blitz Project gives you and your neighbors the supplies needed to clean up streets, alleys and vacant lots. Whether you are planning a litter pick-up or a major alley overhaul, Brightside can help! All of the supplies available through Brightside are listed on the Blitz Project Registration.
Want to learn more about Brightside? Check out this year’s Neighborhood Leader Packet. This includes info on all of Brightside’s initiatives, including Project Blitz, Blitz Blooms, Neighbors Naturescaping, Graffiti Eradication and Saint Louis City Recycles.
As a reminder, groups registering their neighborhood clean up before April 24 may request flower seedlings for planting on public property in their area. Register your Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter projects today to request flowers. Flowers, in 200-count trays, will be available in early May.
Let Brightside help improve your neighborhood!
