Arlington Heights is offering holiday lights recycling at village hall through Feb. 26.

Strings of holiday lights or extension cords can be dropped off at the Health & Human Services Department at village hall, 33 S. Arlington Heights Road, or at the Public Works Center, 222 N. Ridge Ave.

Last year, with 51 municipalities participating in the Elgin Recycling program, more than 100,000 pounds of holiday lights were recycled instead of thrown away.

Lights accepted include mini-lights (or Italian lights), C7 lights, C9 lights, rope lights and LED lights, as well as extension cords. All colors and lengths will be accepted. Garland, live greens, wreaths or other nonrecyclables are not accepted.
