What do you do with holiday lights once you’re finished with them?
If they’re functional, throw them in a box and keep them until next year. But if you have holiday lights that are half dead or can’t be revived, there’s a better alternative then sentencing them to a landfill.
This is another critical question to tackle in today’s Where Can I Wednesday.
Great news for you if you’re looking to recycle holiday lights – there’s a solution right here in the city and locally! One of our fav place to bulk bin shop, MOM’s Organic Market, has a holiday light recycling drop-off bin now through January 31st. Simply visit one of MOM’s locations, bring your lights – and shop!
MOM’s Organic Market also has an amazing range of recycling programs so you can bring batteries, toothbrushes and other used products you’ve been hoarding for the visit.
& Sun, 9am-8pm
If you stumble across this post past January 31st, the good news is that there’s a mail-away option.
