Free holiday light collections
Morrow County Recycling is offering a free string holiday light and extension cord recycling service for the residents of Morrow County through Jan. 15, 2024. Several sites have been secured across the county for the ease of recycling. They are Cardington Public Library, Mount Gilead Public Library, Perry Cook Memorial Public Library, Selover Public Library, Park Avenue Elementary School, and Mid-Ohio Sanitation and Recycling. A few other locations include the Marengo and Highland Recycling Bin locations and Candlewood Lake.
Recycling lights keeps the lights out of landfills and away from recycling equipment that often get damaged when the cords wrap around machinery. Recycling holiday lights contributes to sustainability.
Old lights are shredded. The pieces are broken down and sorted into raw materials like plastic, glass, and copper. These materials are reused to make new products.
Holiday light collections are funded by DKMM Solid Waste District and local supporters. For further information, please contact Kristin Ruth, director of Morrow County Recycling, at 419-946-6400.
