Tampa --

Got some old televisions and computers you want to dispose of? Then mark this date your calendar.

The city of Tampa will hold its first Electronics Collection Day from 9 a.m to 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10 at 4010 W. Spruce St., according to a news release. The city is holding the event in anticipation of a large number of TVs being disposed of when all-digital broadcasting begins in February. Only electronics will be collected.

Also, the city announced Christmas trees will be collected beginning Jan. 5 as part of regularly scheduled yard waste collections. Trees must be bare - no ornaments, lights or tree stands. Areas not receiving yard waste pickup will have their trees picked up on Jan. 8-9. Residents also have the option of disposing of their trees at the Manhattan Brush site, or at the McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy facility.
