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.

Happy New Year!
For 42 years now, Brightside has been committed to making St. Louis better and brighter through our cleaning and greening initiatives.
In just this year alone…
- More than 6,000 volunteers participated in 300+ neighborhood clean-ups and planted more than 125,000 flowers including annuals, Missouri native perennials plus daffodils and tulips
- Brightside crews removed 235,000 square feet of graffiti from more than 2,500 vandalized homes, businesses, vacant buildings and public spaces
There is always work still to be done, which is why we must count on our friends to help! Please consider a year-end donation to Brightside. Or a New Year’s resolution to pick up litter when you see it! Or to organize a neighborhood clean-up effort!
Every bit helps to make St. Louis a more vibrant and beautiful city! Let’s continue to work together to make St. Louis better and brighter!
All the best to you and yours for a joyous holiday season and a healthy and prosperous New Year!
Thank you for living your commitment to a better and brighter St. Louis!
