Recycle Your Holiday Lights at Ace Hardware of Fort Collins Through January 15

Decorating for the holidays is always so much fun. Lights especially help to really dazzle and brighten your home for all the season’s festivities. But what do you do when a string of lights stops working or becomes too tangled to fix? Rather than tossing them in the trash, consider recycling them.

Holiday lights are made of recyclable elements like glass, plastic and copper. However, they can also contain lead and PVC that can be harmful to the environment if thrown in the trash and sent to landfills.

Consider Repurposing Lights

If your string of lights seems to be too tangled to tackle or not all the bulbs are working, squeeze them into a mason jar for a DIY luminary that can be placed on your mantle or table. You can even try strategically wrapping them around a plain wreath to give it some seasonal sparkle.
