Here's Where To Recycle Holiday Lights In Apple Valley, Rosemount

APPLE VALLEY/ROSEMOUNT, MN — Looking to recycle holiday lights this year? Dakota County warned residents not to put holiday lights in household recycling bins.

"While components of string lights and electrical cords can be made into new products, they don't belong in household recycling carts," the county said. "They wrap around machines at sorting facilities and cause damage."

To resolve this issue, Dakota County has put out several collection bins for holiday lights.

In Apple Valley and Rosemount, residents can drop off their holiday lights in a bin at:

• Steeple Center, Community Center in Rosemount
• Dakota County Western Service Center in Apple Valley

Bins will be out until Jan. 31, Dakota County said.
