The event is open to all residents. It will take place at the Bradford Public Works Barn,112 Holley Ave., Bradford. The event is very busy, so be patient and expect to wait in line until your car can be unloaded by staff.

Only one television per carload is allowed.

There are small fees for some items: Freon containing devices (air conditioners, dehumidifiers, etc.) are $15 each, fluorescent bulbs are $1 each, and a fee will be charged for damaged tube TVs. No medical equipment, VHS tapes, or batteries will be accepted.

All other items are free.

If you have answering machines, copiers, duplicators, electric typewriters, fax machines, hard drives, mobile phones, pagers, printers, radios, remote controls, stereos, tape players, telephones and equipment, computers, testing equipment, VCRs, satellite receivers, etc. to dispose of, this is the chance to do so.

The tire collection will be held on July 22, at the Smethport Borough Sheds on U.S. Route 6 from 8 a.m. until noon. Car tires will be accepted for $1.25 per tire, and truck tires will be accepted for $2.50 per tire. Tires can have rims on or off.
