Recycle Your Holiday String Lights with the Green Team!

The Green Team is back to help you responsibly recycle your old or broken Christmas string lights. Drop off your unwanted lights in the collection box located in the narthex from November 15 through January 17.

Why it matters:

• Keeps trash out of landfills: String lights do not decompose and can leach harmful chemicals into the soil.
• Saves resources: Recycling recovers valuable materials like copper, glass, and plastic for reuse.

Important guidelines:

• No curbside bins: Never put string lights in regular recycling bins. They wrap around gears and damage facility equipment.
• Remove large bulbs: Please pluck off and trash any large, old-fashioned bulbs before donating your light strings.

Once collected, the Green Team will ensure the lights are shredded and processed into raw materials for manufacturing. Thank you for keeping our community green this holiday season!
