The city of Long Beach is hosting an electronic waste and tire disposal roundup from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Environmental Services Bureau, 2929 E. Willow St.

For environmental reasons, it's illegal to dispose of old televisions, computers, monitors, printers, VCRs, cell phones, DVD players, microwave ovens and other electronics in regular trash. Those and similar items can be brought to the roundup for lawful disposal.

The city will also be collecting another environmental hazard: used tires.

There's no limit on e-waste but tires are limited to five tires per vehicle. Do not bring wheels or rims.

In addition, hazardous waste is not allowed at the  event.
