From Keep Ferguson Beautiful
Thanks for visiting Keep Ferguson Beautiful on the web. Check our Current Events page regularly for the latest information on our activities and organization.
Winter hours: Effective immediately, we will meet every Sunday at 10:00, in the parking lot next to Popeye's. The turn-in to that lot is only for eastbound Airport Road, so if you are coming from other directions, you have to cut through the Shop 'n Save parking lot. If you are running late and need to know where we're working, call Nick's cell phone at 314-991-7740.
Did you know ... Missouri law says that littering is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by a $1,000 fine, and up to one year in prison. That's a higher fine than a speeding ticket.
This is a trash can at January-Wabash Park. Why won't the city enforce this law?

Our Organization
Keep Ferguson Beautiful is a non-profit organization1 founded in July, 2008. Through regular litter abatement activities, educational efforts, and public outreach, our goal is to have a litter free Ferguson. This will enhance the experience of visitors and residents, and provide a positive economic impact for businesses and homeowners.
1Missouri non-profit incorporation is available here.
Our Activities
Keep Ferguson Beautiful abates litter through organized group activities which focus on our busiest arterial roads. We work on secondary arterials and residential streets through our adopt a street program. See Getting Involved on this page for how you can be part of our work.
In the future, we also plan to become affiliated with Keep America Beautiful. This will provide us with resources for educational programs, and assessment tools to quantify the effectiveness of our work.
