Is your holiday decorating turning up strings of lights that do not work? Are you replacing old inefficient lights with new LED lights? The Manitowoc County Recycling Center accepts unwanted holiday lights for FREE.
Bring them to the Recycling Center Main Office at 3000 Basswood Road, Monday-Friday between 7am and 4pm.
All string lights are accepted as well as extension cords. Garland, wreaths, trees, and other lighted decorations will not be accepted though. Normal light bulbs, including spot lights, compact fluorescents, fluorescent tubes, and incandescent bulbs can be recycled but normal fees apply.
Since the Christmas light recycling program started in 2015 over 6800 pounds have been collected.
Visit the Recycling Center at Manitowoccountywi.gov or call 920-683-4333 to learn more about electronics recycling and similar programs offered in Manitowoc County.
