Carondelet Directory 2024

18 2024 | Carondelet Community Directory Trash Task Force The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department began stepping up its efforts in Spring, 2018 to combat illegal dumping with a Trash Task Force. If you see illegal dumping as it is occurring, get a license plate number if possible and call the police non-emergency number at 314-231-1212. When reporting it after the fact, call the Citizens’ Service Bureau (314-622-4800) and ask the operator to flag it for the Trash Task Force. This will expedite a response from the Refuse Division to clean it up and Trash Task Force officers will look for evidence they can use to identify anyone responsible. In addition, cameras will be installed in locations with frequent illegal dumping. The task force has been successful in closing several cases. Be sure to tell the CSB operator your call is for the Trash Task Force. Illegal dumping includes large amounts of trash that won’t fit in the Dumpster, including mattresses, construction debris, etc., and anyone dumping trash from outside the city.
