“Recycling holiday lights is a win-win for people and the planet,” said MetroParks Sustainability Manager Kelly Bohrer. “Recycling lights reduces landfill waste, keeps the lights from entangling wildlife and prevents adding toxins to our soil and water. It also allows us to reuse valuable materials (copper) and supports the circular economy.”
