City of Erie Cancels Recycling Bin Distribution Events

The City of Erie residents has canceled its scheduled recycling bin distribution events.

Officials posted on social media the bin distribution was a success, but they had to close the event due to safety concerns.

As a result, Wednesday and Thursday's giveaways were canceled.

The city said it will hold more distribution events in the future.

The money to purchase the 35-gallon bins came from a recycling grant from the Department of Environmental Protection.
