City of Kyle to host citywide cleanup event June 5

The City of Kyle is inviting all of its residents to drop off their trash bags, bulky waste and junk at the citywide cleanup event on June 5.

The event, scheduled for 8-11:30 a.m. at Gregg-Clarke Park, is designed to provide the community with the opportunity to dispose of trash and unwanted items at no cost.

The City of Kyle is inviting all of its residents to drop off their trash bags, bulky waste and junk at the citywide cleanup event on June 5.

"But this event also helps us get the word out about all the available resources we have for our residents to help keep their properties in compliance — like two bulk picks ups per year and one free monthly drop off to the landfill — as well as build the relationship between Code Enforcement and the Community so that we can all work together to keep the City of Kyle a safe and beautiful place to live, which is the ultimate goal of Code Enforcement," Kyle Code Enforcement Officer Duarte Pamplona said.
