Get Rid of Unwanted Items With Abilene’s ‘Spring Clean’ Event

If you have a bunch of unwanted stuff piling up at your house, here's your chance to get rid of it for free with Abilene's annual 'Spring Clean and Tire Amnesty Days'.

This Friday and Saturday, you can drop off your unwanted tree limbs, plastic, glass, electronics, tires or other recyclable items at the City of Abilene's Environmental Recycling Center (ERC) at 2209 Oak Street. They will be open on both days. During those times, Oak Street will become a one-way street.

As far as tires are concerned, you can bring up to eight passenger tires without rims, free of charge with proof of residency, like a water bill. Truck tires without rims are $5 per tire and with rims $8 per tire. Agricultural tires will be accepted without rims only for a $35 per tire service fee. Commercial or business tires will not be accepted.

For more information on recycling or the Spring Clean event, call the Environmental Recycling Center at 325-672-2209.
