Recycle your holiday lights

The holiday season is officially upon us and for many that means donning the house, porch, shrubs, and trees with holiday lights. When your old lights do not turn on, there is a solution. T

he Canby Developmental Achievement Center (Canby DAC) announced the annual launch of collecting your non-working holiday lights and any cords for recycling.

The Canby DAC will collect the lights with our partner, Gislason Ace Hardware of Minneota.

“Our clients will separate the bulbs from the wires for environmentally safe recycling. So, let’s all work to get the word out to friends and family, co-workers and others to recycle those lights,” said Pam Weckwerth of the Canby DAC.

This is a win-win-win program. Valuable recyclables are kept out of the landfill and the program provides meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities and the program runs until January 31, 2020.
