Flooding Resources Update: 8-5-22
As cleanup work continues after the extreme flash flooding that occurred in the Maryland Heights area on 7/26/22, we wanted to share new resources that the City has worked to make available to its residents.
The St. Louis County Emergency Operations Office has had a dumpster delivered to the Community Center parking lot between the Community Center and Aquaport. It is set up to be emptied and returned each day until Tuesday, August 9th. Residents who have bulk waste to dispose of as a result of the flooding are encouraged to bring their items to this dumpster within this time period.
Some restrictions apply to the items that can be disposed of in this dumpster. We request that residents not throw away appliances, hazardous waste, or yard waste. In addition, electronic waste, construction material, fluorescent lights, and batteries should also not be disposed of in the dumpster.
Items such as mattresses, furniture, glass portions of doors and windows (broken down and placed into boxes clearly marked as glass), and bundles of carpet (no longer than 4' in length and 3' in diameter) are encouraged to be disposed of in the dumpster.
If you or someone you know was impacted by the flooding and could use other assistance, please see the resources below:
United Way: 2-1-1 or 1 (800) 427-4626
St. Louis County is reviewing options to provide federal resources as a result of the flooding. We encourage all impacted residents to contact 2-1-1 if they experienced damage to their homes and need assistance.
