‘Tis The Season To
Recycle Your Old Holiday Lights



 



ELMHURST, Ill. –  Have your holiday lights lost their
twinkle?  Instead of sending them to the
landfill, drop your dead lights off at Courts Plus (186 S. West Avenue), Wagner
Community Center (615 N. West Avenue), City Hall (209 N. York Street), or the
Park District Administrative Office (375 W. First Street) from Monday, November
18, 2013 through Friday, February 7, 2014 (look for the bins with the “Holiday
Lights” stickers.)  The City of Elmhurst
and Elmhurst Park District are partnering with SCARCE (School & Community Assistance
for Recycling & Composting Education) and Elgin Recycling for their fifth
annual holiday lights recycling program, with a goal of recycling over 100,000
pounds of holiday lights.  Items that
will be accepted include Italian mini-lights, traditional lights, extension
cords, rope lights, and LED lights in both working and non-working condition.  Call Anne Scheppele at (630) 993-8941 or
email ascheppele@epd.org with any questions. 
Additional information about recycling is available from SCARCE at www.scarceecoed.org or from Elgin
Recycling at www.elginrecycling.com



 



The Elmhurst Park District is
committed to promoting “lifetime enjoyment” by providing a variety of parks,
recreation facilities, and affordable programs in the Elmhurst community.  For more information on the Elmhurst Park
District call (630) 993-8900 or visit www.epd.org.
