What started out as something for Amy Albritton to do on her Mondays off has created a local following of people who share her same dislike for litter.
Albritton’s work schedule changed last September, leaving her off every Monday. She quickly phoned her mom, Debbie Anderson, to see if she would join her in picking up trash off of roads.
The two posted a selfie on social media after cleaning parts of Highland Avenue and other surrounding streets, and Kinston's Trash Bashers was born on September 21, 2020. The duo soon turned into a group of five – and six months and 611 13-gallon trash bags later, four groups now clean up streets, ditches, and properties within Lenoir County.
