Amnesty Day offered Saturday at recycling center

If you have some hard-to-dispose of items around the house, the Bartholomew County Solid Waste Management District wants to help.

The organization will be holding a fall Amnesty Day from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the recycling center at 720 S. Mapleton Street in Columbus.

Bartholomew County residents can bring in four tires from a pickup truck or smaller, with the rims removed, two appliances containing CFC or refrigerant and up to two propane gas tanks. Those will all be taken at no cost.

Fall Amnesty Day is being held in celebration of America Recycles Day.
