Every holiday season, trash cans are filled with partially functional, or completely dilapidated holiday lights. Many of these strands contain Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs (CFLs) that release toxic mercury when the lights break. That’s not a substance you want in your trash can, nor your local landfill.
If lights are processed by All American Recycling, however, they can be recycled for their plastic, glass, and copper. And as an added incentive, you’ll receive a monetary scrap rebate for lights collected or have us donate to a charity of your choice. Broken and/or unused lights, string lights, and extension cords are also accepted.
Are you a landlord, property manager, community manager, or residence manager with tons of residents who like to use Christmas and holiday lights? Participate in our event to get your residents’ lights recycled and keep them out of landfills!
