If you don't know already, some of those unwanted items you found during spring cleaning aren't supposed to be put at the curb for the garbage truck.

Items such as tires, chemicals, electronics, and appliances can be recycled and the Mahoning County Green Team has a series of events in the coming months where you can take those items.

A fee will be charged for some items and some events are only open to members of the community in which they are held.

Some of those events will be held this weekend.
