Holiday Lights Recycling Program is in Full Swing

Posted

Habitat for Humanity of Wausau, Inc.

Habitat for Humanity of Wausau is excited to announce the return of the Holiday Lights Recycle Program! Habitat Wausau takes holiday lights that are new or old.  Lights can twinkle or fizzle.  Broken or tangled lights are gladly accepted.  Every strand of lights contributes to increasing homeownership and critical home repairs for low-income families in the greater Wausau area. All lights collected support Habitat’s Home Ownership Program, Critical Home Repairs and Veterans Build in the Wausau area.  Habitat for Humanity of Wausau’s goal is to collect 5,000lbs of lights this holiday season. 

Collection boxes are convenient locations across the community and will be out now through January 15th.  Wausau Habitat ReStore takes holiday lights all year round during regular store and donation hours of operation. New in 2024-2025 boxes are also available in Merrill and Stevens Point to support regional Habitat efforts. 

Habitat for Humanity of Wausau has been recycling holiday lights since 2014 and has kept over 35,000lbs of lights out of our local landfill. 

Spread joy and sustainability this holiday season by participating in the Holiday Lights Recycling Program!

✅ Keep the environment shining bright: Recycling old holiday lights prevents them from ending up in landfills, reducing waste and protecting our planet.

✅ It's easy and convenient: Drop off your old or broken lights at our designated collection points and do your part in the recycling effort.

✅ Make a positive impact: By recycling your lights, you're contributing to a greener and cleaner community for everyone while supporting homeownership.
