As people begin to, or continue setting up Christmas lights, they may discover the lights they have either don’t work, or they simply want to buy new lights. If that is the case, you can turn any unwanted lights into the Manitowoc County Recycling Center.
According to a release by Operations Manager Jon Reisenbuechler, “Strings of lights are highly recyclable even with the bulbs in them.” Plus, replacing old lights with new energy-efficient LED lights can help you save on your electric bill.
All string lights will be accepted as well as extension cords. Garland, wreaths, trees, and other lighted decorations will not be accepted. Normal light bulbs, including spotlights, compact fluorescents, fluorescent tubes, and incandescent bulbs can be recycled but normal fees apply.
The Recycling Center Main Office at 3000 Basswood Road is open Monday-Friday between 7:00 am and 4:00 pm. Visit the Recycling Center website, ManitowocCounty.com/recyclingcenter, or call 920-683-4333 to learn more about Christmas Light Recycling and similar programs offered in Manitowoc County
