Holiday Lights Recycling
Planning to buy new energy-efficient LEDs for your holiday lighting this year? Please consider recycling the strings of lights you no longer need as part of the Holiday Light Recycling Program that the Village of Arlington Heights is offering through a program managed by SWANCC (Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County.)
From November 19, 2012 – February 22, 2013, all holiday string lighting and extension cords can be dropped off for recycling at Health Services on the first floor of Village Hall at 33 S. Arlington Heights Road, or at the Public Works facility, 222 N. Ridge Ave. See below for hours at each location.
Last year, 28 area communities contributed more than 51,000 pounds of holiday lights for recycling instead of throwing them in the trash. Through this recycling program, materials are reclaimed, reprocessed, and made into new products, making the holiday season much brighter!

Happy Holidays!
