Registered groups with the county will be given a Cleanup Kit to help out. Registration information is available on the DeSoto County official website.
During the 10-day period from April 1-10, dumpsters will be deployed at a number of locations throughout the county and available to receive garbage and refuse. County employees will be monitoring the dumpsters during the time and having them emptied as needed.
