Christmas Lights Recycling March 2013

by admin | Mar 12, 2013

Today, my husband, David took over 1900 pounds of Christmas lights to a metal recycling company in Irving, TX.

We received these lights in the last 6 weeks from folks all over the country.

Over 1900 pounds of dysfunctional lights!

All of the proceeds from this haul will be saved up and used to purchase toys and books for the Toys for Tots program in November.

If you have lights that you’d like to have recycled, get more information at Christmas Light Source Christmas Lights Recycling Program.

Best regards,

Shellie Gardner
