Itâs been going on for more than 20 years, and itâs helping the city and those living there keep their properties neat and tidy. âItâs an opportunity for our residents to get rid of junk,â said Kentwood Mayor and City Manager Stephen Kepley. He was out at the Cityâs Department of Public Works for the annual community cleanup day. âThereâs two highlights for residents: one is July 4 th festivities, and two is Kentwood Cleanup Day (laughing),â said Kepley.
