As the holiday season approaches, many people are beginning to decorate their homes with festive lights. However, what happens when those lights become broken or no longer usable? Instead of simply throwing them away and contributing to landfill waste, there are now several options available for recycling these holiday lights.

The DeKalb County Health Department and DeKalb County Farm Bureau, in collaboration with local businesses, have set up drop-off locations throughout the county where individuals can bring their broken light strands. These drop-off locations will be available throughout the entire holiday season, providing ample opportunity for individuals to dispose of their lights in an environmentally responsible manner.

According to the DeKalb County Health Department website, individuals can find full details and a list of drop-off locations by visiting their website. The website also contains additional information on the recycling process and how these broken lights can be repurposed.

In a statement, the DeKalb County Health Department emphasized the importance of recycling holiday lights and reducing waste. They stated, "By recycling your broken light strands, you are not only helping to protect the environment but also contributing to the creation of new products. Recycling these lights ensures that valuable materials are not wasted and can be repurposed for future use."

The DeKalb County Farm Bureau, another key player in this initiative, expressed their support for the recycling program. They highlighted the benefits of recycling and the positive impact it can have on the community. A representative from the bureau stated, "We are pleased to partner with the DeKalb County Health Department and local businesses to offer this convenient and environmentally friendly solution for holiday light disposal. Recycling is a simple yet effective way to reduce waste and preserve our natural resources."

Local businesses that have joined forces with the DeKalb County Health Department and DeKalb County Farm Bureau also expressed their enthusiasm for the recycling initiative. One business owner remarked, "We are proud to participate in this program and offer our establishment as a drop-off location. It's a small step, but it contributes to a larger effort in protecting our environment and promoting sustainability."

With the holiday season being a time of giving and spreading joy, it is important to also consider the impact we have on the environment. By recycling broken holiday lights, we can all do our part to reduce waste and preserve valuable resources. So, as you unpack your holiday decorations this year, remember to set aside any broken light strands and take advantage of the convenient drop-off locations provided by the DeKalb County Health Department and its partners.
