Talking Trash

Updated November 19, 2010

A few years ago, a resident asked us

Just wondering how i might recycle old christmas lights? (C9 size)

I did some research, and advised reuse or disposal as trash.

In 2010, we have a much better answer!  We know of these local recycling opportunities for your working or broken Christmas and holiday lights.
