Let me know about opportunities in your area; I'll post the information. (I put up a post about different places where holiday lights could be recycled <a href="http://leyhane.blogspot.com/2009/12/holiday-light-recycling-available.html" rel="nofollow">in 2009</a> -- but, of course, that wasn't helpful in early April 2011.)<br /><br />The thing that interests me is why lights -- or stereo equipment -- or used coffeemakers -- aren't recyclable year round. Money is being made from some recycling. One would think that there is some more money to be made from recycling more things. But maybe there's a reason why that is presently impractical. I'd like to find out, though, and report on it.Jack Leyhanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15884163579967286888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24546933.post-84540758206441254522011-04-12T11:03:54.683-05:002011-04-12T11:03:54.683-05:00Some suburbs have started recycling Christmas ligh...Some suburbs have started recycling Christmas lights, but they only do it right after Christmas. (My town does, so hang onto your string until next Christmas and I'll be glad to recycle it for you.)Albertnoreply@blogger.com
