In the past three gun buyback events, Houstonians have traded in nearly 3,000 firearms. Here's how much money you can get, depending on what kind of guns you bring.

This time, Houstonians can sell their guns at NRG's Yellow Lot, located at 9051 South Main.

The event, in collaboration with Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis, will run from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 10. City officials hosted two previous successful gun buybacks. The first gun buyback collected 793 guns, and the second event collected 1,252 guns. Harris County Precinct One, the Harris County Sheriff's Office, and the City of Houston collaborated for a third gun buyback earlier this year, and officials collected 793 firearms. That's nearly 3,000 firearms off the streets and traded in for money.
