KYLE, TEXAS — The Kyle Police Department is hosting the Citywide Cleanup event on Saturday, May 21, from 7 a.m. - 1 p.m. at Gregg-Clarke Park.

"Our aim with this event is to provide the community with an opportunity to dispose of any trash and unwanted items at no cost to them,” Kyle Code Enforcement Officer Duarte Pamplona said. “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 — including two bulk pickups per year and one free monthly drop off at the landfill. The cleanup is just one way we strive to 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.”
