UPDATE: St. Louis residents can now access free firewood this winter, with the program launched by the City’s Department of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry. Firewood is available at select locations across the city while supplies last, making it easier for residents to stay warm during the colder months.
The free firewood can be found at:
– The lower Muny Opera Parking Lot in Forest Park
– Near the compost area off Holly Hills Drive in Carondelet Park
– North of Picnic Site #4 in O’Fallon Park
This initiative, confirmed by Parks Director Greg Hayes, underscores the City of St. Louis’ commitment to sustainability and community support. The firewood is sourced from city tree removal work, with wood being dropped off in the afternoons from Monday to Friday.
Residents should note that availability varies by location and day, and the program is set to run through early March 2026, or until supplies last. Firewood is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and commercial vehicles or trailers are not allowed on site.
For more information, residents are encouraged to contact the Forestry Division at (314) 613-7200. With winter fast approaching, this program provides an essential resource for those in need.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to secure free firewood and ensure warmth this winter. Share this news with your community and help spread the word!
