Recycle Your Holiday Lights For Free

POSTED BY
Laura

Do you have broken, burned-out or impossibly tangled sets of holiday lights stored away with last year’s holiday decorations? Don’t throw them out – recycle them for FREE instead! Thanks to the city of Denver’s recycling program, locals can recycle holiday lights from December 5 through January 7, 2023 at two different locations.

What’s Accepted:

Light strings and wires for incandescent, LED, and “icicle” lights.

Attached bulbs okay.

What’s Not Accepted:

Bubble (liquid-filled) or neon lights.

Note: Please remove light strings from packaging material.

FREE Drop-off locations:

Cherry Creek Recycling Drop-off

Located near the intersection of S. Quebec St. and E. Cherry Creek South Drive. Enter going south on Cherry Creek Dr. South (follow the signs).

Hours: Tuesday to Friday: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Saturday: 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Closed on Sundays, Mondays, and city holidays.
