City Of Plymouth issued the following announcement on Dec. 26.
To help reduce household waste, the City of Plymouth will offer a free holiday lights recycling drop-off Jan. 1-31 at the Plymouth Maintenance Facility, 14900 23rd Ave. N.
Residents may drop off bare string lights and extension cords to be recycled at no cost. String lights may contain any type of bulb, including LED, and lights need not be functioning.
The collection bin will be available at all hours in January at the Maintenance Facility, west of the fuel pumps.
Residents are asked to only drop off string lights and extension cords – not other holiday décor. Materials not accepted include pre-lit Christmas trees, light-up lawn décor (candy canes, reindeer, etc.) and fiberoptic lights.
Holiday Lights Not Accepted in Curbside Recycling Bin
Holiday lights, wires, plastic bags and other items with strings or strands are not accepted in curbside recycling bins, as they tangle and cause damage to recycling processing equipment.
Alternate disposal options for string and holiday lights include putting them in the garbage or dropping them off for free year-round recycling at a Hennepin County drop-off facility. For more information, visit hennepin.us/green-disposal-guide/items/string-holiday-lights.
