This year, Delaware County is offering a Christmas Lights Recycling Program, encouraging residents to recycle old or burned-out holiday string lights instead of discarding them. This initiative is part of the “Recycle Right Holiday String Lights” program, which runs from November 15 through January 20. The program is a collaboration between Delaware County District Library, Delaware Public Health District, and other local partners such as Keep Delaware County Beautiful and the Delaware Knox Marion Morrow Solid Waste District.

This recycling effort not only helps reduce waste but also promotes the use of energy-efficient LED lights, which last longer and consume less power than traditional bulbs. By participating in this program, residents can contribute to a more sustainable holiday season.

Drop-off Locations: Residents can drop off their string lights at any of the following convenient locations:

  • Ashley Wornstaff Memorial Library
    302 E. High St., Ashley, OH
  • Delaware County District Library
    All locations
  • Delaware City Public Works
    440 E. William St., Delaware, OH
  • Delaware Public Health District
    470 S. Sandusky St., Delaware, OH
  • Genoa Township Administration Office
    5111 S. Old 3C Highway, Westerville, OH
  • Price Farms Organics, Ltd.
    4838 Warrensburg Rd., Delaware, OH
  • Sunbury Municipal Building
    9 W. Granville St., Sunbury, OH
  • Shawnee Hills Municipal Building
    9484 Dublin Rd., Shawnee Hills, OH

How to Participate: Simply bring your burned-out or old string lights to any of these locations and drop them into the designated recycling boxes on site. It’s an easy, free way to do your part for the environment this holiday season.

For more information, you can contact Jenifer Way-Young at (740) 368-1700 or [email protected].

Let’s make this holiday season a little greener by recycling right!
