Individuals can take old household appliances (with Freon removed), litter, leaves, and brush to their local collection sites that day at no charge. Automobile tires will be accepted for a fee. Commercial tires will not be accepted at any precinct collection site. If residents have questions about other items they can take to their collection site, call Jimmy Hays, (903) 646-3929.
