Do you have a pile of burned-out Christmas lights? Are you replacing your traditional light strands with energy-efficient LED (light-emitting diode) lights? This holiday season, don’t throw out your old light strands. Recycle them! Holiday light recycling programs take your old strands and recycle the copper wire inside them.
The following businesses are accepting lights for recycling:
Whole Foods Market – all locations
Artistic Framers – West Seattle
Wyatt’s Jewelers – Westwood Village, West Seattle
Most of those locations will accept lights until at least January 15. Call first when possible to confirm they are taking the lights and find out exactly where the bin is located.
