City Residents Offered Free Firewood
The City of St. Louis Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry will offer free firewood to city residents starting Monday, Nov. 2 on the Lower Muny Opera parking lot in Forest Park.
The wood is available after 3 p.m. each work day. All wood comes from the removal of dead, diseased and damaged trees from city streets and parks. Daily wood supply is not guaranteed and sizes/species will vary. It is offered on a first come, first served basis.
It will be made available until about the first week in March.
Due to park restrictions, no commercial vehicles or trailers are permitted.
"This is an excellent opportunity for city residents to pick up free firewood for the winter months,” said Forestry Commissioner Greg Hayes.
For more information, call the Forestry Division at 613-7200.
