Frustrated with broken holiday lights, or just have a bunch that no longer suits your needs?
No matter the reason, resist the urge to through holiday lights in the
curbside trash or recycling cart. Holiday light strings are known as "tanglers" in the recycling industry. Tanglers are things like plastic bags, ropes, cords, hoses, wires, and light strings that jam sorting machinery by wrapping around the equipment, which is dangerous for workers.
Recycle your used string lights by dropping off at the Department of Public Works.
