Thanks to you, we kept 718 lbs of old holiday lights out of trash bins. Holiday lights should NOT go in your curbside recycling. These “tanglers” get wrapped around
recycling equipment and jam the screens at the processor.
Great job to everyone who made the trip to our recycling containers this holiday season!
