St. Louis Earth Day's Recycling On the Go Program
St. Louis Earth Day’s Recycling On the Go Program Arrives at Bark in the Park

Help us keep Bark in the Park “GREEN” by using the recycling centers stationed throughout the event.

St. Louis Earth Day’s Recycling On the Go is the region’s first wide-scale event recycling program. The program’s goal is to reduce the negative environmental impact of large outdoor festivals and events by recycling a portion of the trash they generate, thereby reducing the amount of solid waste that ends up in area landfills.

We are excited to welcome Recycling On the Go to Bark in the Park for the first time this year.
