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.

Time to plan your Blitz project!

As the weather warms up, we will be spending more time outside talking to our neighbors and participating in spring activities. This is a great time to plan a community cleaning or greening project! When you register your Blitz project by April 25th, you can also request free Blitz Blooms annuals to plant in public spaces like medians, street planters, tree lawns and parks. We grow tried and true flowers like celosia, dianthus, gomphrena and marigolds from seed and then on May 2nd and 3rd, we distribute them to community members who want to brighten and beautify their neighborhoods!
You can register your Blitz project online or in person at our office. Feel free to give us a call if you have questions or need assistance. We are available Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. If you would like to volunteer at an already organized Blitz project, check our upcoming events to see if there is one happening near you.
Thank you for all you do to keep St. Louis looking great!
