🏫We had so much fun *talking trash* with the bright students at Ben D. Quinn Elementary School's Career Day! Thanks for letting us share how teamwork, science, and sustainability come together in what we do every day. We spotted future environmental leaders in the making! ♻️🌎🦺

We have a CONGRATULATIONS in order! A few months ago, we announced that our lead driver, Mike Bryant, won 1st place at NC SWANA's Road-E-O and would be advancing to the international competition in Florida. The competition was this past weekend, and we are SO PROUD to announce Mike, the man, the myth, and the legend, brought home 2nd Place in the Tractor Trailer division at the International SWANA Road-E-O! Congrats, Mike! We are all so proud of you!

We are so proud of you Jillian! It is a pleasure to collaborate with you!

One thing about North Carolina weather...you can count on it changing! We have RESCHEDULED our HHW Collection for Carteret County due to the coastal low/nor'easter expected to impact the coast this weekend. See the updated event page for more information: Carteret County Household Hazardous Waste Collection ### Carteret County Government

We are always working behind the scenes to make sure Craven County is clean and beautiful, both by land and river!

Today felt like a good day to share this fun fact about our favorite muppet! The Life of a Muppet in a Bucket ❤️‍🔥

Well, we have had to make the difficult decision to POSTPONE and RESCHEDULE our inaugural River Sweep event. Re-save the date for October 4, 2025! Keep an eye out for a new registration form.

Almost October and we are still up to our ears with veggies from our demonstration garden! We keep saying “let’s pull the tomatoes and plant fall crops” but then the tomatoes keep showing up and showing out. Maybe they have ears? PS - the tomatoes in the picture are all ripe! They are a variety called Sungold Tomatoes with a dash of Yellow Pear Tomatoes. We have about 5-7 eggplants to pull within the next week…drop your favorite eggplant recipes below!

We hope to see everybody out at Craven County Clean Sweep’s first RIVER SWEEP this Saturday! We will meet at Merchant’s on Brices Creek Road at 9am. We will provide bags, litter grabbers, and nets. Sound Rivers has a limited amount of vessels available to borrow but please register ahead of time! Bring your kayak, paddle board, canoe, etc and join us for a great time.
