Whether you are new to the neighborhood or lived here for years, you are invited to attend Heights Nights!
What are “Heights Nights”? A few years ago, one of the founders of TGHNA, Susie Gudermuth, suggested having monthly social outings for neighbors to get together at various business locations. Since then, these happy hours have become a popular way for newcomers and longtime neighbors to get together and socialize in casual settings spotlighting local businesses. Past locations have included Civil Life Brewing Co., Tower Grove Creamery, Rooster, Aesh Design architecture offices, VP Square, Dunaway Books, Aleto Construction Group offices, the Gin Room at Natasha’s, Zee Bee Market, the King and I, Guerilla Street Food, Baida, and Pizza Head.
Heights Nights are held on 2nd Tuesdays, April through September, 6:00-8:00 p.m. at various locations which are listed on the website calendar. Everybody is welcome, including kids!
Tower Grove Heights Neighborhood is located within the Second District of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. For emergencies (meaning anything that is happening right now), dial 9-1-1. The non-emergency number is 314-231-1212. Report everything that looks suspicious!
Neighborhood Improvement Specialist & Citizen’s Service Bureau
For common problems you may have with city-provided services, the best course of action is to contact the Citizen’s Services Bureau. They’ll handle issues such as potholes, defective street lights, overflowing dumpsters, graffiti, etc. For more serious problems, such as a problem or nuisance property, contact our Neighborhood Improvement Specialist/NSO who can generally assist you as described here.

Streets are scheduled to be cleaned once a month. Times and dates are posted along each street. If you park a vehicle on the street during the scheduled cleaning times, you’ll be subject to receiving a parking ticket.
Trash, Recycling, Yard Waste, and Bulk Pickup
The City of St. Louis Refuse Division provides for all disposal in the city. There are dumpsters in the alleys designated for either trash (landfill), yard waste, or recycling. Please break down boxes before placing them in recycling dumpsters. Paint that has been solidified with kitty litter or sand may be put in trash dumpsters. No flammables should ever be put in to any dumpster.
Bulk items are picked up on the 3rd Monday of the month. By 6 a.m., place up to 3 items, 3 to 4 feet from dumpster. Bulk items include household items such as furniture, appliances, car batteries, tires, scrap metal or wood, etc. Refrigerator doors must be removed. No container or bundle may weigh over 100 lbs., be over 6 feet long, or over 2 feet in diameter. With a valid driver’s license and utility bill showing a city address, residents are entitled to one free dump per month at 4100 S. 1st Street 63118, Mon-Sat, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (excluding holidays).
