Have your holiday lights lost their twinkle? Drop off broken or unwanted lights at any Great Parks of Hamilton County visitor center through Jan. 11, 2015!
Recycling holiday lights instead of throwing them in the trash keeps them out of landfills and gives them a new life. As part of its mission of conservation, Great Parks of Hamilton County is offering six convenient drop-off locations to the public. The lights are collected and recycled by Great Parks’ current contractor for metal recycling.
