THE BLUE BUCKET PROJECT

What began with one bucket, a trash grabber and a friend quickly turned into a mission to provide tools for others to help. The Blue Bucket Project has provided over 500 litter pick up starter kits throughout the Omaha area. You can help make our communities better places. Start by contacting us!
