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.
