As spring cleaning continues, the City of Austin is giving residents the opportunity to get rid of their old electronic devices without throwing them away.

The city will accept electronic items for recycling from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday at the Mower County Fairgrounds. A small charge will be applied to items brought in for recycling.
