Simple Recycling No Longer Offering Curbside Service

Unfortunately, Simple Recycling curbside service is no longer available in the City of Kennedale. This was a service that allowed residents to recycle clothing and homegoods by leaving them at the curb for pickup. This change has no effect on the curbside recycling of household waste via the green rolling bins, which is still being offered.

Simple Recycling will continue to pick up items on Wednesday mornings from the First United Methodist Church (FUMC) Mission Store/Food Pantry.  If you have items that are too worn to donate to the Mission Store, place them into an orange Simple Recycling bag and leave them on the FUMC porch that faces Spiller Street. Donations for the Mission Store can be left, instead, on the porch next to the garage that faces 4th Street.

NOTE: Due to public health concerns surrounding COVID-19, there will not be a "Bring It!" event this fall.

Butterfly Garden Locations

Through the National Wildlife Federation's (NWF) Mayors' Monarch Pledge, cities are committing to create habitats and educate citizens about how they can help preserve these butterflies. KKB and Mayor Brian Johnson are proud participants in the NWF Mayor's Monarch Pledge, which included issuing vouchers to residents to purchase milkweed and other nectar-producing plants. Thank you to Stegall's Nursery for their generous support of this program, which resulted in 29 butterfly gardens in the City of Kennedale!
