Florence’s appliance-and-tire drop-off runs for three hours Saturday
The free Black and White Collection Event is set for 10 a.m.–1 p.m. at Siuslaw Middle School’s south parking lot.
Florence residents get a three-hour window Saturday to unload appliances, tires and other select items at the city’s annual Black and White Collection Event. The collection runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the south parking lot and pavilion at Siuslaw Middle School.
The city hosts the event with EMAC and County Transfer and Recycling. “Select items” is doing real work in that sentence: residents should check the city’s current flyer and exclusions before hauling something across town.
The official calendar gives the 2026 date, time and site even though the standing page carries no publication timestamp. That makes it current event information, not evidence of a freshly posted announcement.
Field notes
What changed: Florence’s official calendar now carries the exact 2026 collection time and location for Aug. 22.
Why it matters: The event offers a free local disposal path for appliances, tires and certain other items during a limited window.
Who may be affected: Florence-area residents with eligible items to recycle or dispose of.
