Where to Recycle Christmas Lights

Don’t throw out your old light strands. Recycle them! Holiday light recycling programs take your old strands and recycle the components inside them.

Several retailers and other businesses in the area now accept old holiday lights for recycling. Most of those locations will accept lights until at least January 15. Call first when possible to confirm they are taking the lights and find out exactly where the bin is located.
