Have a busted strand of lights? Cat attack the tree again? Before you send the strand to the landfill, consider visiting a recycling drop off location. The copper, metal, and plastic from the lights will be separated and recycled in these specialized processes.

If sent to a curbside recycling sorting facility, the lights can tangle equipment and cause potential harm to workers.
Instead, find your holiday lights a new home by visiting the sites below for a location near you:
