Join the Bucket Brigade

The Bucket Brigade is looking for people who are tired of passing by the same trash each day and want to get outside to make a difference in the community. 

Organized by Haywood Waterways Association, this stream cleanup movement is an army of small groups, families and individuals working to pick up trash and protect local waterways. Haywood Waterways provides kits in a bucket containing trash bags, grabbers, gloves and safety vests for groups to borrow for up to a week at a time. 

To schedule a pickup time or learn more about the program, contact Christine O’Brien at 828.476.4667, ext. 11, or christine.haywoodwaterways@gmail.com.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
