The city's weekend recycling event collected more than 36,000 pounds of electronic waste and 200 used tires in three hours.

A city press release called the haul a record.

About 525 people participated by dropping off outdated computers, cell phones, monitors, TVs, keyboards and used tires.

E-waste will be disassembled and recycled. Used tires will be turned into new products, such as rubberized asphalt.
