Got any old batteries, cell phone, fluorescent lights, you want to get rid of safely and legally? How about old furniture, mattresses or tires? If you don’t mind loading it up in your own vehicle, the City is offering you the opportunity unload all these items and more at Gregg-Clarke Park between 8 and 11:30 a.m. Saturday June 5.
"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 in a prepared statement released today by the City.
Persons who want to drop off items must bring a photo ID and a City of Kyle utility bill to prove they reside within the city limits and “be prepared to leave the vehicle to unload at the drop site,” the City said in today’s prepared statement.
“Attendees will be able to enter Gregg-Clarke Park by taking Old Stagecoach Road to Center Street and turning left on Ranger Drive,” the City’s statement said. “They will be directed on where to unload materials and items by City staff and volunteers.”
Acceptable items to unload include mattresses, appliances (except for refrigerators and freezers), household debris, furniture, scrap metal, above-ground pools, computers, televisions and tires (with a limit of four passenger/light tires per vehicle). Household hazardous waste items that will be accepted include batteries, cell phones, degreasers, drain cleaners, fluorescent lights, paints, sharp items such as needles, blades, scalpels, etc., and weed killers.
Items that will not be accepted include compressed gas cylinders, medical waste, pharmaceuticals, waste generated by businesses, construction waste, hot tubs, refrigerators, freezers and yard and brush waste.
“The City is encouraging visitors who are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to continue wearing a face covering over the nose and mouth when at City-owned outdoor public spaces when it is not feasible to maintain six feet of distance from someone outside of their household,” the City’s statement said.
