Here’s How to Recycle Your Christmas Lights in Rochester
Did you know your Christmas lights are recyclable? It's true! Rochester Public Utilities your old Christmas lights and even has a program all set up just. For. You.
Recycle any and all of your old holiday lighting between now and Friday, January 29, 2021. Just drop your old lighting strands off at the RPU Service Center (4000 East River Road NE). The recycle bins are right inside our lobby. (source)
