(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte County residents will have a chance to dispose of a variety of unwanted items such as appliances and household hazardous waste.

 

Another 7-in-1 collection by the La Porte County Solid Waste District is scheduled May 17 at the La Porte County Fairgrounds from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

 

Also accepted will be tires, electronics, shredded documents, Styrofoam and cardboard.

 

“Bring us all of your different items,” said LCSWD Environmental Education and Public Outreach Coordinator Sacha Gee Burns.

 

Everything can be disposed of at no cost, including the first four standard sized car or truck tires, she said

 

There is a $1 charge for any additional standard sized motor vehicle tire. The cost is $5 for every tire from 21” to 53” in size. The fee climbs to $75 for every tire larger than that because they require special recycling and handling, she said.

 

Burns said the twice a year event usually draws around 1,000 vehicles.

 

“We get tons of people all day long,” she said.
