(La Porte County, IN) - The final 7-IN-1 collection day of the year will be Saturday at the La Porte County Fairgrounds.

 

From 8 a.m to 1 p.m., people can dispose of household hazardous waste, tires, appliances such as microwave ovens and refrigerators, electronics, paper documents for shredding, styrofoam and cardboard.

 

The first four standard sized tires will be accepted at no cost.  There is a $1 fee for any additional tires up to 20” in diameter.

 

The cost is $5 for each tire measuring 21” to 53” in diameter while the fee is $75 for 54” and larger tires because they required special recycling and handling.

 

Items such as latex paint and old furniture are not accepted. 

 

La Porte County Solid Waste Executive Director Clay Turner said anywhere from 1,000 to 1,400 vehicles loaded with materials for disposal normally come out for the 7-IN-1 collections held twice annually.
