Are you frustrated and struggle each year with light strings that don't work?  Do you hate the thought of throwing the lights in the trash, and would like a way to "recycle" them?

Keep Beatrice Beautiful and Sanitary Recycling Center are partnering this year in a holiday light recycling event - November 1, 2019- January 11, 2020. Collection site is Sanitary Recycling Center, 917 S 11th Street, Beatrice, NE.  Hours are:  Monday-Friday- 12-6; Saturday- 8-6.

Drop off your non-working lights or lights can still work, but you just don't want them anymore.  Bulbs can be left in place, but do remove any packing material like plastic bags cardboard etc. 

After January 11, 2020, the holiday lights will be taken to Scrap Central, Inc., Omaha.  The different component materials will be separated and reused in new items.
