Holiday Challenge #1: Christmas Lights

Have your holiday string lights gone kaput? Don’t toss them in the trash! They CAN be recycled, but NOT in your curbside recycling cart. Head to the Bottle Depot instead!

Edit: Please note that the video below incorrectly states that string lights can be taken to Do Your Part Recycling Depot. This is incorrect; the only place in Terrace to return these lights is the Bottle Depot.

Strings of Christmas lights are included in the provincial recycling program for light fixtures, managed by an organization called Product Care Recycling. Through this program, strings of lights are free to drop off at a number of participating depots across BC. Up to five strings per visit are accepted, and there is no need to remove the bulbs from the string prior to drop-off. If you have a larger volume, please contact the depot directly to see if they can handle your volume.

Thanks for doing your part to reduce waste this holiday season.
