LAMBS CUP* Raffle

In keeping with Lyle’s proud heritage of being the sheep shipping capitol of the West Coast, a raffle will be held as part of the annual Clean-Up called the “LAMBS CUP” Raffle.

The following individuals and businesses have offered raffle items as a token of their appreciation Lyle’s efforts:

· Country CafĂ©

· Country Store

· Domaine Pouillon Winery

· Full Throttle Espresso

· Lyle Merc

· Milestone Nursery

· Northwest Realty Group – Colleen Connolly

· Northwest Realty Group – Sara Abell

· Oren Johnson

· Syncline Winery

· The Tap Room

· Watching Woman Productions

Everyone who brings items to the clean-up drop site on April 10th and 11th will be given a raffle ticket for each full clean-up bag (up to 5) dropped-off or for each pick-up load of larger items. Simply fill out your name and contact information and drop the tickets in the raffle box at the Lyle Twin Bridges Museum located in the old elementary school. The Museum will be open during the clean up. It’s a neat place and we are using this opportunity to encourage residents to check it out.

Raffle winners will be contacted the week after the clean-up. Winners will receive their official LAMBS CUP certificate to be presented to the local business establishment to redeem their raffle prize.

Prizes will be simple but given with lots of love and support for this great town.

Get Ready for the Annual Lyle Clean-Up!

Once again, the Lyle Community Council is organizing the annual Lyle Spring Clean-Up to be held Friday and Saturday, April 10th and 11th from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Dumpsters will be located in Lyle’s school bus yard on Hwy 14.


«New for this year’s Clean-Up:


1) All loose garbage, like grass clippings, leaves or small bits of paper must be in bags. This is to prevent the organizers from having to chase down loose garbage that blows around.


2) Recycling will be accepted. It must be in the clear blue recycling bags which will be available at the drop-off site.


3) A raffle will be held in conjunction with the clean-up. See the article on the “LAMBS CUP Raffle” elsewhere in this newsletter.


This event is intended to help our community clean-up and reduce fire hazards. We are targeting waste accumulating in the back of garages, old appliances lying around, litter that collected under snow last winter, brush and tree limbs and even burn barrels that are not used. It is not intended for daily household waste which will not be accepted.


Other Clean-Up information that you need to know:


  • No charge for trash drop-off although donations to the Lyle Community Council are greatly appreciated and will be used for other community projects.

  • Each household may bring 2 light truck/passenger vehicle tires per pick-up load.

  • No car parts or cement chunks over 6 inches can be accepted.

  • A local truck will be available to haul household appliances. A small fee will be charged for refrigerators, air conditioners and freezers.

  • A local truck is also available to haul scrap metal.

  • No hazardous material, including liquid paint, cleaning supplies, motor oil, aerosol cans with contents, batteries, etc. These items cannot be accepted!

Prior to the event, volunteers will be distributing fliers and garbage bags to residences within the Lyle city limits. Additional bags are available at the Lyle Merc. Our thanks and appreciation goes to Allied Waste Services for their generous support for this annual community project!
