City of Erie residents can dispose of tires, electronics during recycling event Saturday

The city of Erie's yearly electronics/tires collection will take place Saturday at the Municipal Garage complex at 1926 Holland St.

The event begins at 9 a.m.

The event is free to city residents and allows people to drop off up to six unwanted tires from passenger vehicles or light trucks.

Tires on rims cannot be accepted.

Residents can also get rid of their broken and unwanted electronics items such as televisions, desktop computers, laptop computers, printers, tablets and e-readers.

A photo ID is required to drop off items.

The city sponsors the collection because state law prohibits residents from throwing out TVs, DVD players and other electronics with their regular trash. City workers also do not collect electronics or tires during the city's weekly large-item pickup program.
