Holiday Lights
Tastes change. It’s perfectly fine to change your mind about those St. Patrick’s Day lights that seemed like such a great idea two years ago. But whether you’re giving up on past light purchases or disposing of strands of Christmas lights that don’t work anymore, you don’t have to trash them.
Holiday lights feature different types of bulbs, from incandescent to LEDs, that will determine how to recycle them. Your local waste collection service might offer a recycling program for unwanted or broken holiday lights. Specialty electronics recycling services sometimes accept holiday lights, too.
Home centers like The Home Depot or Lowe’s sometimes offer recycling services for holiday lights, too. Companies that sell lights online, like Christmas Light Source or Holiday LEDS, also offer recycling services.
