#1 - Recycle

String lights should NOT be put in the recycle bin. They get tangled up in machines used to sort recyclables.

Instead, Bruin Recycling in Liverpool and Bodow Recycling in Syracuse accept Christmas lights year-round for recycling. Call in advance for  preparation requirements.

Also, you can consider a mail-back program such as the one offered by HolidayLEDs.com.

#2 - Dispose

If you are unable to drop off string lights at a recycling company, put them in the trash.
